Aoct Fred Frtichte, Clerk 1 ——v— —' SOME FACTS ABOUT THE HORSE A colt unbroken is worth little more than nothing; improperly broken. it is worth strt’ less It is harder to break a terse that ha* trot tampered with by unskilled hands than cne never touched by the band o: man. Often i’ Is impcss ■■! an individual of faults thrust upon it. when a youngster, by an educator who has Jot bad the necessary experience. Many times horses roe tros been spoiled for life P. C. Masterses, the terse • -alter and educator, is a man - -7 ex peeler.ced and equipped for t ..s un- ‘ dertaking. Horses placed in his charge can be placed there vthe fullest confidence that they will re ceive the careful and skillful auention. made possible by years of experience. Now is the time to have colts broken. Don't wait till warm weather, as you ean now get them handled with more attention. Mt xterson is also a developer speeC. and has met with splendid success in this line. In fact, this is his main business, of which the breaking and educating of colts is a very important branch. Experience has taught Masterson that horses trained for speed should be started early :n the year. When a horse goes a ' good corking mile" every muscle and fiote in its make-up is put te the mcs tense exertion. For this much po w e ; of lung and muscle is required. To get this power a good supply of ?ystematic jogging is unavoidably necessary. During the racing season man.' good prospects are turned out on pasture because they were put to !iie test of their speed and endurance tefore thay had sufficient preparation The horse should be built up in the winter in order to develop speed lithe spring. Any attempt to get speed without muscle will be met by disaster. The subject best fitted for hard campaigining is the prospect well ’‘Qtered. Masterson is well equipped o such .wintering.
