A06916	A discource of horsmanshippe Wherein the breeding and ryding of horses for seruice, in a breefe manner is more methodically sette downe then hath been heeretofore. With a more easie and direct course for the ignorant, to attaine to the same arte or knowledge. Also the manner to chuse, trayne, ryde and dyet, both hunting-horses, and running-horses: with all the secretes thereto belonging discouered. An arte neuer heeretofore written by any authour.

dyet pamper him and get him into lust and strength making him to endure no more labour then you are forced vnto for preseruation of his wind and let your strongest scowring be a swéete mash of Maulte which as it scowreth so it strengthneth and comforteth to him you may spare sweats and night ayrings or any other thing that abateth his strength or flesh If that horse which runneth best lowe and poore be hye and fatte then to him must you vse the contrary meane which meane I will expresse in a larger manner shewing the true arte of dyeting in him because hee craueth all the helpes that may be wishing you to vse the same manner to all running Horses of what nature soeuer onely reseruing to your discretion matters of extremity Hauing therefore made your match and taken such sufficient time as in good discretion shall be requisite enter well into the consideration of the state of your Horses bodie which finding to be strong ful of lust and couragious through his great fatnes yet by that meane so pur●ie kettie and thick winded that he cannot show that wonderful spéed and goodnes which otherwise he would demonstrate thus enter him into his dyet First next his skinne lay a faire lynnen shéete because Horses naturally loue to bee sweetly kept and the more neate they are the more proude and pleasing to themselues next the sheete lay a blankette or two and ouer them a housing cloth of Canuas or sackcloth binde these close before your Horses breast and then gyrd them on with a Sursingle stopping it rounde about with little wispes Thys doone let your stable wherein hee standeth bee made darke close and warme hauing continually great store of lytter lying about him the reason for these fore mencioned things is this First for the lynnen sheete as it is neate and pleasing to the Horse so it carrieth this commodity when nature shall so vehemently striue in the beast as what through his extreame fatnesse vnusuall warme keeping and continuall rest hee shall as many times he wil breake into great sweats insomuch as when you come to him you shall find him all of a water the linnen being next his skinne euen as the force of nature shall leaue his working so will the lynnen dry and be no further anoyance whereas if the wollen shoulde lye next hys skynne it would not onely force him to sweat vnnaturally but also fauster and continue his sweates till it turne to faintnesse and then as the sweates procéeding of naturall causes strengtheneth comforteth and maketh cleane the body so those beeing forced weakeneth dulleth and maketh fainte euery part and member For the many clothes before prescribed they are for two causes first to be a helpe to nature and an occasion now and then to sweate as hee sléepeth or takes his rest if he be extreame foule and most aboundantly full of grosse vmors for otherwise the ●elfe sweates will not chaunce And thys manner of disoluing these vmors is most naturall and wholesome The second cause is a Horse beeing pestered and as it were loaden with many clothes when he shall come to be stript naked and eased of them will finde himselfe so light nimble and deliuer that in his course hée will shew the vttermost abilitie he can possible Againe being kept so warme in his clothes when hee is naked the cold ayre will bee so pearcing that whereas otherwise a course of three or foure myle would thrust him into an extreame fainte sweate by this meane such a course shall but maintaine a naturall heate without sweate or faintnesse For the darknes of the stable I haue rehearsed a reason in the former Chapter therefore in this place I will yéelde no other but this because the Horse shall not distinguish the day from the night but being kept darke take his rest in both My reason for the much lytter I would haue hym continually stand vppon is this First because it will defend him from the colde dampishnes of the earth which is wonderfull vnwholsome Secondly because hee shall not detaine and holde his vrine longer in his bladder then willingly nature would which if he haue lytter vnder him hee will not doo but if he want vndoubtedly hee will because naturally Horses will refuse to pisse vppon the bare plaunchers Lastly because it will occasion him to lye downe and take his rest when otherwise he would not and hee that will expect his Horse should take great toyle abroade must prouide that he may rest at home These foresayd reasons being well considered you shall consequently see that the Maunger wherein your Horse f●●deth be kept sweete and cleane without dust filth or any other excrament of vncleannesse Also haue regard that his Rack be cleane without cobwebbes or other anoyance and that there be not any Mud-wall neere him to byte or gnaw vppon For his ordinarie meate in his Racke it shall be nothing but Wheate straw well thresht gyuen by a sheafe at once morning and euening and th●s much for these generall things nowe for other particuler matters they shall ensue in order First when you come to your Horse in the morning which would be if he be a very fatte Horse an howre or two before day if leane not before sunne-rise if neyther fatte nor leane then after day and before sunne-ryse put your hande vnder hys clothes and féele about hys flancke and rybbes whether hée be wette or dry that is whether he haue sweat that nyght in his clothes or no if you finde he haue and is not fully dry then leaue him and let hym rest vntill such tyme as naturally he dry of hymselfe If hee be dry ere you come or haue not sweat that night then see that his clothes be well gyrt about him and take a Brydle and Snaffle the Snaffle beeing washt eyther in Beere or Ale and hauing bry●led hym leade hym forth in your hand to the height of some Hyll and there walke hym vppe and downe for the space of an howre or more not by any means pulling or compelling him to leade but suffering him to goe how and wich way he list If hee offer to stande still stand you still with him if he offer to goe goe you if he couet to lye downe doo not hinder hym but in all you can further him thereunto and with the brydle if he cannot helpe him to tumble ouer and ouer If he be desi●ous to play 〈◊〉 vp and down and skope with hym in your hand and thus in all things follow his mind that he may vnderstand he commeth abroad not to doo your will but his own if he be stond lead him where some other Horse hath dunged before and let hym smell thereto which will presently make him to d●ng himselfe by which mea●es you may empty his belly at your pleasure After you haue thus wasted an howre or little more leade him home againe and set him vp this we cal ayring of a Horse the reason and profit
