The breeder who is fortunate enough
ol stabling, ..__ elab- , .
to possess a range
orate riding schools and tan tracks
and the services of a skillful breaker
j s naturally in a better position to in¬
sure full justice being done to bis
young stock than a neighbor whose
sole belongings are a couple or so of
mares whose interests are looked after
by the coachman and groom attached
to the establishment.
The young stock raised by the breed¬
er in a small way, says the London
Live Stock Journal, are usually sent
away from home to be broken by con¬
tract and when returned, in a greater
or less condition of tractability, are
probably very little worked for days at
a time, with the result that what they
have learned is forgotten by them,
and they grow up practically innocent
of manners. The fact is that a great
proportion of the good horses bred by
“little men” are neglected or, at all
events, do not get a fair chance of do¬
ing justice to their merits, owing to
there not being a sufficient number of
them on the premises to justify their
owner in engaging a regular breaker,
whereas those youngsters 'belonging
to a big stud are systematically train¬
ed from the first and are never permit¬
ted to forget their preliminary eduea
tlon .
Tills, moreover, is not tlie only man
ner in which the breeder in a small j
way is placed at a disadvantage, for he
must always experience a greater diffi- j
cul-ty than the big man in disposing of
his stock. IIow rarely does it occur
that where there is only one animal to
be inspected it succeeds in captivating !
the visitor, and yet. are there not many
of us who before now have made a
special journev into the country on
'
Z
though we have found another on

the premises which suited us? Such
instances must always bo occurring,
first, because there are very few peo¬
ple who will be found to regard the
merits of an individual horse from the
same point of view, and, secondly, be¬
cause it is only natural that the man
with a horse to sell will try and de¬
scribe liis animal as resembling the
horse which a prospective purchaser
wants,, in the hope that if the young¬
ster does not exactly tally with the de¬
scription the visitor will buy him all
the same rather than return empty
handed. On the contrary, a possible
buyer, if ho runs down to a stable in
the country where he knows there are
several young liorses, feels that out of
so many there is very likely one that
will suit him, and so the owner of a
big establishment stands a better
chance of dealing directly with the am
ateur than tllo little man. The latter is
uu:lbio to forin ;i ir;;u ' kct ° f his own,
an( i i s therefore »r. the majority of in
stances compelled to dispose of his
stock to dealers, or their agents, which
is the same’thing, the inevitable result
being diminished profits; or else ho has
to take his risk with them under the
hammer, and most of us with any ex¬
perience of sales know what that
means unless the vender is at the head

It seems surprising, therefore, that
horso holers in a small rvay have
