CARE OF INJURED HORSES
The need for. better provision for the care of injured horses was raised at the annual meeting of the South Canterbury Jockey Club. Mr. C. L. Orbeil thought the club should provide a building where a veterinary surgeon could examine an injured horse.' The; club had the Teschemaker Memorial ambulance building and he suggested the erection of a Hugh Lowry Memorial Horse Stall. • ■• ■ ■
Mr. A. S. Elworthy mentioned that at the Waimate Hunt Meeting that very day a horse with a broken fetlock had been removed from tho course and walked some distance before it was destroyed. In his opinion it was rank cruelty to walk a horse the distance the one in question was obliged to go. It should have been shot on the spot. He considered that a movable horse ambulance for animals that had broken down would bo a very fine thing, and if Mr. Obeli's suggestion could be combined with a horse ambulance he thought it would be a step in the right direction. Mr. Elworthy said that the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals did a great deal of good and its methods were most humane. The chairman said the committee would consider the suggestions.
