Note to the Teacher.—The entire anatomy and physi- 
ology of its digestive apparatus show that the food of the 
horse should be nutritious in quality, supplied frequently, 
and in comparatively small quantities. The amount and 
character of the food must vary with the size and con- 
stitution of the horse, the climate and season, the amount 
and kind of work required, and the section it lives in.
