Don't forget that your horse helps
you to earn living.
Don't forget that he will repay you
for his cost. If you treat him right.
Don't stand him in the sum-. when
by moving him across the street or
around the corner you can find shade.
Don't put the same load on him
when the. thermometer is at 80 as you
do when 1t just above freezing point.
Don't fall TO give him water at
short intervals.
Don't fail to battle his head with
cold water
Don't giva him whIskey unless ad-
vlsed by veterinary surgeon.
Don't take any yourself Whiskey
