When Horfss are hot and tired, to prevent Surfeits 
and other Difeafes, rub them down well, then tie 
them to the Rack for an hour or two, according as 
their wearinefs.may be, all this while giving them no 
Meat or Drink, but keep rubbing ’em now and then : 
when they have refted, and are pretty cool, let them 
have both Meat and Water; fome warm the Water 
a little, but not fo much as they can eat or drink till 
they have refted well, and recover’d their natural 
Strength, Heat and Spirit ; for nothing is more hurt- 
ful, to Manor Beaft, than fulnefs, and much eating 
and drinking upon wearinefs. For inftance*, let a 
Man butfitftill when tired and hot, ftrut his Eyes, 
keep fcimfelf warm, and take a little Nap for an hour 
or two, he will find himfelf refrefh’d, In's Appetite 
ftrong, and he better difpos’d for Exercife than by, 
any other way I know of. 
By reafon Heat abounds inilorfes, they ought not 
to be kept in clofe Stables, for that is very prejudicial 
to ’em; beftdes, the fteam of Urine, Dung, 0V, in- 
fers their Blood, and fends into their Feet and Legs 
a hot fait Humour that hinders its circulation, dulls 
the Appetite, $5c. whence proceed Tendermfs , Jhort 
Ureath, and at length they become broken-voinded. 
All thefe Difeafes Horfes that lie in the open Air 
are not fubjeft to ; therefore let all Stables have 
large open Windows on all fides, that fo the fteam 
may pafsaway; which will much refrefh ’em, and 
ftrengthen their Stomach, caufing a good quick Di- 
geftion. 
lam credibly inform’d. That a Gentleman who 
keeps the beft Horfes for Labour and Hunting in all 
Torljhire, ufes only Hovels, cover’d on the top and 
open at the fides, that they may eat {heir Meat dry, 
and lets ’em run loofe where they pleafe. 
And thofe that will keep a Horfe in the Field after 
this manner, and another in a clofe Stable, will find 
that the Horfe kept in the Field will outdo that kept 
in the Stable as to Labour,and be freer from Difeafes.
