THE CHECK ~REIN.-Whipping and
oyerwOrking do not torture like the
check rein. When you compel n horse
TO contract the muscles just under the
top of the collar, in order To sustain the
head a foot, more or less, above its ma
tural place, AID then hold them thus
contracted, the strain on those muscles
sOon produces great harm. II you don't
believe il, watch the animal look nj his
eyes and ears! / am sure you can't mis-
understand that face. See him carry
his head around on n side, and then
away round on the other side. Now in
a moment you will see him throw his
nose up in front as high as he can, three
or four times. That struggle for relief
he continues all the day long. When
You take off the check, he will hang
down his head low, and show in his face
a sense of relief which / am sure you
can not misunderstood. The long strain
wastes his muscles, and produces that
ugly hollow which is now so common
Just under the collar.
The London Horse Book says: "The
check rein is q useless and painful en-
cumbrance, introduced by vanity and
retained by thoughtlessness amounting
to cruelty,
Professor Pritchard of the Royal
Veterinary College (London) says. ITO
sum up in a word, the check rein lessons
the horses strength, brings on disease.

DIR. Fleming, Veterinary Surgeon OF
the Royal Engineers (Lopdon) says:
"Nothing can be more absurd than the
check rein. 1t is extremely cruel. II
is not only the head and neck that suffer,
but from his head TO his tail, from his
shoulder to his hoof, he suffers more or
less"
The eminent John Adam Mcbride,
Professor of Veterinary Medicine and
Surgery in the Royal Agricultural Col

you continually toss your head, while
standing in the harness.? Why do you
stretch open your mouths, shake your
heads and gnash your teeth? Why do
you turn your heads back toward your

done to get relief from the agony we
are enduring by having our heads kept
erect and our necks bent by tight bfi-
dies and CALLING bits"
The author of that excellent and able
work, 1.-THE Horse in Health and Dis
