The signs and causes of their diseases, the means to prevent them, their cure, and the good or bad use of purging and bleeding. III. The way to order and preserve them, when upon travel, to feed, and to dress them. IV. The art of shoeing, according to a new design of shoes, which will recover bad feet, and preserve the good. Together with a treatise, how to raise and bring up a true and beautiful race of horses: as also instructions, whereby to fit all kinds of horses with proper bits, whereof the chief draughts are represented in copper-plates. / Written originally in French by the Sieur de Solleysel Escuyer, sometime one of the overseers of the French Kings Royal Academy of Riding, near to the Hostel de Conde in Paris. And translated from the last Paris impression, by Sir William Hope of Kirkliston Kt. Lieutenat Governour of the Castle of Edinburgh.

some_o few_o thing_n to_o be_v observe_v in_o give_v of_o heat_n in_o give_v of_o heat_n you_o be_v to_o consider_v first_o that_o two_o in_o the_o week_n be_v sufficient_a for_o any_o horse_n of_o

increase_v wind_n and_o cause_n sweat_n then_o to_o improve_v his_o speed_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v have_v you_o to_o order_v they_o thus_o suppose_v your_o match_n day_n be_v to_o be_v upon_o a_o monday_n than_o your_o heat_n day_n must_v be_v mondays_n and_o frydays_n and_o the_o sharp_a heat_n to_o be_v upon_o the_o monday_n because_o it_o be_v the_o day_n of_o his_o match_n if_o the_o day_n be_v tuesday_n than_o your_o heat_n day_n be_v tuesdays_n and_o saturday_n if_o wednesday_n then_o wednesdays_n and_o saturday_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n if_o thursday_n then_o thursdays_n and_o m●ndays_n and_o so_o of_o the_o rest_n still_o observe_v to_o run_v he_o more_o smart_o upon_o these_o heat_n day_n of_o the_o week_n in_o which_o the_o match_n be_v appoint_v to_o be_v run_v than_o any_o of_o the_o other_o and_o that_o for_o the_o reason_n i_o have_v already_o give_v you_o three_o you_o shall_v give_v no_o heat_n but_o in_o case_n of_o necessity_n in_o rain_n or_o foul_a weather_n but_o rather_o defer_v hour_n and_o change_v day_n for_o it_o be_v unwholesome_a and_o dangerous_a and_o therefore_o in_o case_n of_o sudden_a shower_n and_o uncertain_a weather_n you_o shall_v have_v for_o your_o horse_n a_o hood_n loynd_v quite_o through_o to_o keep_v out_o the_o

rain_n for_o nothing_o be_v more_o dangerous_a than_o cold_a wet_a fall_v into_o the_o ear_n and_o upon_o the_o nap_n of_o the_o neck_n and_o fillet_n four_o observe_v to_o give_v your_o heat_n the_o weather_n be_v seasonable_a as_o early_o in_o the_o morning_n as_o you_o can_v that_o be_v by_o the_o spring_n of_o day_n but_o by_o no_o mean_n in_o the_o dark_a for_o it_o be_v to_o the_o horse_n both_o unwholesome_a and_o unpleasant_a to_o the_o rider_n a_o great_a testimony_n of_o folly_n and_o to_o both_o a_o act_n of_o danger_n and_o precipitation_n five_o and_o last_o when_o you_o begin_v your_o heat_n start_v your_o horse_n roundly_o and_o sharp_o at_o near_a a_o three_o quarter_n speed_n and_o if_o it_o be_v upon_o the_o day_n of_o the_o week_n which_o his_o match_n be_v to_o fall_v in_o then_o according_a to_o his_o strength_n goodness_n of_o wind_n and_o cheerfulness_n of_o spirit_n run_v he_o the_o whole_a course_n through_o and_o by_o no_o mean_n do_v any_o thing_n in_o extremity_n or_o above_o his_o wind_n but_o when_o you_o find_v he_o a_o little_a yield_v then_o draw_v a_o little_a and_o give_v he_o ease_v that_o he_o may_v do_v all_o with_o pleasure_n and_o not_o with_o anguish_n for_o this_o manner_n of_o train_v will_v make_v he_o take_v delight_n in_o his_o labour_n and_o so_o the_o better_o endure_v it_o but_o the_o contrary_n will_v bread_n uneasiness_n and_o make_v his_o exercise_n become_v a_o toil_n but_o if_o his_o heat_a day_n be_v upon_o any_o other_o day_n of_o the_o week_n then_o that_o his_o match_n be_v to_o be_v run_v upon_o then_o make_v he_o only_o go_v over_o the_o course_n at_o a_o slow_a and_o gentle_a gallop_n only_o to_o increase_v his_o wind_n and_o cause_n sweat_v that_o so_o the_o scour_n you_o be_v to_o give_v he_o after_o his_o heat_n may_v have_v some_o loose_a grease_n to_o work_v upon_o and_o bring_v away_o for_o this_o be_v the_o only_a design_n of_o the_o second_o heat_n in_o each_o week_n otherwise_o be_v both_o the_o heat_n smart_n the_o horse_n will_v not_o be_v able_a to_o hold_v our_o there_o be_v so_o short_a a_o intermission_n between_o they_o for_o he_o to_o rest_n and_o recover_v his_o vigour_n therefore_o you_o will_v do_v well_o not_o to_o mistake_v and_o in_o stead_n of_o two_o heat_n in_o a_o week_n which_o i_o order_n the_o one_o to_o be_v smart_n and_o the_o other_o gentle_a you_o give_v not_o both_o with_o the_o same_o degree_n of_o swiftness_n for_o that_o be_v not_o at_o all_o my_o meaning_n and_o therefore_o i_o desire_v you_o will_v take_v notice_n to_o it_o also_o

of_o feed_v for_o the_o shape_n of_o the_o horse_n body_n there_o be_v some_o who_o be_v of_o a_o round_a plump_a and_o close_o knit_v shape_n so_o that_o they_o will_v appear_v fat_a and_o well_o
