Dry cold is not injurious. and 1t Is only
when horses get wet that harm re-
suits.
Attention should be given to the At
ting Of harness to colts when beginning
to work 1t is of great Importance that
collars should fit snugly, and 1t is well
to see that the shoulders are not
bruised. When first beginning work in
the spring the work should be light
until the team is hardened. During the
first day the distance Of ten miles trav-
cling is sufficient. This may be in
creased to twelve to eighteen miles as
soon as the team gets into condition.
Sucking colts should be very we'll
taken care of. The stables should be
tight so that no wind gets In through
cracks. Light should be admitted
through windows. The sucking colts
should be kept by themselves during
the winter. as the others usually crowd
them out of shelter. Colts require
more warmth or shelter than work
horses or brood mares. When they set
wet it is quite serious.
