An English army officer, writing or
the care Of horses, says: Regularity
Of exercise is an important element in
the development Of the highest powers
Of the horse The horse in regular
work will suffer less in his legs than
another for he becomes gradually and
thoroughly accustomed to what is re-
quired Of him. The whole living ma.
chine accommodates itself to the regu-
lar demands on it, the body becomes
active and well conditioned, without
superfous fat, and the muscles and
tendons gradually develop. Horses
regularly worked are also nearly ex-
empt from the many accidents which
arise from overfreshness.
As proof Of the value Of regular
exercise we need only refer to the
stage coach horses Of former days.
Many Of these animals though by no
means Of the best physical frame.
would trot with a heavy load behind
them for eight hours. at the rate OF ten
miles au hour without turning q hair,
and this work they would continue to
do for years without being sick or
sorry. Few gentlemen can say as
much for their carriage horses. No
horses. IN fact, were in harder condi-
ton.
"On the other hand, If exercise be
neglected. even for a few days in a
borse in high condition. he viii put on
fat He has been making daily the
large amount Of material needed to
sustain the consumption caused by his
work. If that work ceases suddenly
nature win. Notwithstanding. continue
to supply the new material: and fat,
followed by plethora and frequently
by disease. will be the speedy conse.
quence."
