SORE SHOULDERS AND NECKS
Trouble Found In Many Horses Due
Ordinarily to improper Fitting
Collars and Hames.
CBy r. @. wEATHERsToNE.)

(By r. @. WEATHERSTONE.)
Sore shoulders and necks in horses
are, as a rule, due to an improper fit
in collar orhames. Occasionally un-
even surface or hard lumpy areas in
the filling may be the cause, or inn
proper care of the horse in early
spring before the skin and underlying
tissues have become hardened to the
collar pressure.
Diseased conditions of the foot or
limb may cause sore shoulders from
an abnormal gait. A horses collar
should be fitted with greater care
than pair of patent feathers on an
aggregation of bunions, corns and in
grown toe nails. Why? Because the
horse has no means of making his
pain known to the majority Of driv-
ers, while the wearer of patent leath-
ers can grin and bear It," consoling
himself with the thought that his un-
derstanding shows up well even If his
face does wear peculiar, puzzling
expression.
The collar should be well made,
with fair amount of springiness on
pressure, smooth, even surface, and
adapted to the use required; as, for
instance, heavy collar for heavy
draft work, while a lighter one can
be used for driving horses. Let 1t be
sufficiently long that the hand may
be easily passed beneath the under
surface of the neck and wide enough
that the fingers can just be passed
between the front border and the side
OF the neck.
This rule varies somewhat, Of
course, in the various types of horses.
as some thick-necked horses expand
the neck when drawing load. These
will require slightly wider collar.
Let the collar fit snugly over the en-
tire bearing surface. Having fitted
the collar, next comes the fitting of
the hames to the collar and the prop
er adjustment of the height of the
attachment of the tug
