'Punctuality in feeding and watering the stock very
important They viii worry and lose flesh if kept waiting

"A horse cannot thrive on hay alone He needs oats
for strength and bran potatoes to keep
his bowels right
keep your horses feet soft and have him shod often
More feet ruined in the stable than on the road.
