The following good advice from The
Horseman, to farmers who raise horses.
is timely: "It is the custom with MANY
farmers whose horses show any degree
of speed in trotting or pacing to take
them around to the county fairs as
racers, instead of putting them on the
market as roadsters and getting fancy
prices for them. In doing this they spend
time and money on them, generally
getting little or no return for it. and
often ruin the horses. A farmer must
stick to his business, and let others do
the races. His business is to raise
and not to race horses, and whenever
he gets out of his sphere he is almost
certain to lose money!
