Youatt, and particularly Mr. James Turner, whose papers on the 
navicular disease he had lately read with very great pleasure. 
Mr. Turner returned thanks in a short and neat speech.

“ Upland hay, well got in, is the most proper for horses in training; and it 
may be used the following year. Neither new hay, nor such as has been 
heated in the rick, should ever be given. Clover hay may be given to light 
delicate horses by way of change ; but not to craving horses.”
