TRAINING.
And this not only m the way "'of sustenance, but in training for the moral character, as we may say, of the progeny. The disposition of the young animal will be largely made by the treatment of the dam ; and ifc is a fact to be always thought of — that there is no other of the domestic animals, not even that sagacious one, the dog, which may be changed for good or bad or formed in character by the training of it by its keeper as the colt. It goes without saying that the character of a horse is, to a large extent, written on its face, and the expression of it is well understood by thoughtful, skilful breeders, between whom and their animals there is an association of intelligence which goes far to form the temper and disposition of them, and that their value when grown will depend, to a large extent, on the way m which, the mare is used and the young animal is trained.
