Don't listen to the groom or the
when he tells you that the colts OF a
horse so affected will more than likely
be perfectly sound. l knew of very
fine stallion, many years ago. This
horse had apparently good eyes him
self, but his sire, a great winner on
the turf in his day, was blind. A
large percentage of the colts of his
son that had apparently good eyes,
went totally blind at an early age,
and that from four to six years.
If you own a mare that has crooked
hooks, or in other words, who has cat
hams, as the saying is. you can be
pretty sure that her colt will fall heir
to the same blemish, and therefore
will be most likely to develop curbs
Or spavins, either bog or bone.
On bad, rainy days during the win
ter season, when it is impossible to
work the teams out of doors, you
should go over all the harness, oil and
repair it, then when the bright and
sunshiny days arrive, you will be in
shape to go to work in the fields, as
sured of the fact that you will not
have to stop for repairs for broken
harness
The stallion owner takes many
risks. In the first place, he has to
depend in a large degree on the alb
solute honesty of the farmer. The
writer stood both stations and jacks
for some years, and knows whereof
he speaks. If your mare gets in foal
and by any mistake loses her colt
