Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Horses and Hounds: A Practical Treatise on Their Management Demand and high price of well-bred horses - Mistakes in selection of brood mares, and bad economy in purchasing inferior animals - Hints on feeding young stock, especially during the winter - Superior value of horses to other stock - Paddocks - Feeding - Exercise. From the high prices which well-bred horses of good form and figure have commanded, for many years past, and still maintain, it is matter of surprise that breeding this kind of stock, as a system, has not been more generally adopted by the enlightened agriculturists of the present day. Good hunters have always sold at a high figure, but it is no unusual circumstance to find carriage horses in the hands of our London Job Masters, at the present moment, valued at 300 guineas the pair. Good weight-carrying hunters are always in request, for which from 200 to 300 guineas is not an unusual price realized by dealers. Horses of this description, however, are seldom met with out of the great northern districts, which have hitherto produced the finest animals; and to the great fairs at Horncastle, Rugby, and other places, dealers from all parts of England, and the continent also, are attracted to make their purchases. In the midland and western counties, few good horses are ever produced by farmers, and the reason assigned is, that it does not pay them to breed horses.
