AT Patio Alto the colt is weaned at
FIVE months. Then he is broken for the
halter and turned into the field, shell
tered at night. and fed twice a day on
boiled and ground feed, all he can eat.
This is continued until eight months
old, and then they begin to work him OH
one of the miniature tracks. He is kept
at this until he is twelve or thirteen
months old, and then broken to skele-
ton wagon alongside an old horse.
Those that it seems desirable to keep
on training are continued in exercise;
the others are turned out to pasture. In
the training the ordinary rules for all
ages is short distances, brushes, and
work every day. Good colts are en-
tered almost everywhere, and when the
time approaches they are tried for long
distances. Speed and the possibilities
are developed without using up all the
reserve power. The colts and fillies
run together until they are seven or
eight months old; after that they are
kept apart. When they are weaned
two colts or two tillies are put into one
stall, until they are eleven or thirteen
months old; then they get separate
stalls.
The following is one of the rules of
livery stable i'll New York, where the
horses of many of the wealthieSt men
are boarded: ''No man will be en-
ployed who drinks Intoxicating liquors.
No man must speak loud to any of the
horses, or in the stable where they are.
Horses of good blood are nervous: and
loud, excited conversation is felt by
every horse in the stable who
hears it. Excited words addressed to
one horse are felt by every other horse
who hears them, and keep them all
nervous and uneasy. No man may use
prOfane language in the hearing of the
horses"
