NO CHECK REIN ON HORSES.
Citissns Of Roanoke, Va, Advised
Follow Washington style.

NlC1ouS Vk ASSouOAOt vop AuVsb0u ~
Follow . Washington style.
A Roanoke gentleman who is much
interested in the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals, return
ing from recent trip to Washington,
said that one thing which struck him
especially there was the absence Of
check reins from the horses. He said
that not only were the horses allowed
the use Of their heads, but they were
free from this torture Of high refining
There is much meat for thought in
this The question is naturally asked,
Why is 1t necessary to rein horses up
at all? II refining Is necessary in order
to make the animal more useful, then
it is extremely peculiar that horses in
Washington do their work SO we'll
without it. Surely there is no differ
ence between horses in Roanoke and
horses In Washington when it comes
to that. In fact, it is against common
reason to argue that horse or any
other animal is worth more with his
head doubled back at right angles to
Its natural position. That being so,
the practice of refining must come from
desire to be in style, desire which
is, to say the least, in this case, some
what inconsistent, as styles change.
They have changed in Washington,
but the check rein is still answering
Its fiendish, cruel purpose here in
Roanoke. One would think that peo-
pie who are so jealous in following the
fashions in the henght of the collars,
the shape of their shoes and the size
OF the trousers at the knee would pay
some attention to the fashion in re-
gard to refining. They appear to be-
lieve 1t to be incumbent upon them to
bob their horses tails. That is purely
a fad. Why not take up another as
well? Horsemen discourse upon the
advantages of high refining on the
trotting courses. They perhaps know
what they are talking about, but one
does not see them driving, their thor.
oughbreds over the country roads OF
leaving them standing for hours in thu
sun with their heads drawn back. L
asked they would most likely say tha
horse which is worth having will
hold its head up without artificial
props, and that it is usually the cheal
plug that owners are trying to proc
into some sort of show that has to b.
refined in order 10 pass for more thar
