Of FARRIERY
Or the Method of curing the DISEASES of HORSES.
The beft Method of treating Horfes is never to bleed, purge, or to give them any other Medicine, unlef in Cafes of Neceffity; but to keep them in Health by fuitable Feeding, careful Dreffing, and daily Exercife; the beft Hay fhould be procured, if poffible; beans are the ftrongeft Nourifhment, but are moft fit for laborious Horfes. Bran is fit for fick Horfes, but weakens thofe that are well. Oats are a more hearty Food than Barley, as appears from Experience. Horfes who eat their Litter fhould have cut Straw and powder'd Chalk given them to correct their Appetities.
