quart at a meal seeing there be many horses that will eat a much larger proportion and to scant them to this little were to starve o● at the best to breed weakness But if I be understood rightly I set not this down as an infallible Rule but a President that may be imitated yet altered at pleasure For I have left you this Caveat That if your horse eat this with a good stomack you may give him another leaving the proportion to the Feeders discretion because it is impossible in writing to make one measure for all stomacks And for min● own part I chose the quart as the most indifferent proportion for albeit many horses will eat more yet I have known some that would hardly eat this And believe it what horse soever shall but eat this and in this manner he shall neither starve lose strength nor be much hungry So now again to the giving of Heats Four considerations in giving of Heats Now touching Heats you are to take to your self these four Considerations 1. That two Heats in the week is a sufficient proportion for any horse of what condition or state of body soever 2. That one heat should ever be given on that day in the week on which he is to run his Match as thus Your Match-day is a Monday your heating-Heating-days are then Mondays and Fridays and the Monday to be ever the sharper heat both because it is the day of his Match and there is three days rest betwixt it and the other heat If the day ●e Tuesday then the heating days are Tuesdays and Saturdays if Wednesday then Wednesdays and Saturdays by reason of the Lords day if on Thursdays then Thursdays and Mondays and so of the rest 2. You shall give no heat except in case of extremity in rain or foul weather but rather to defer hours and change times for it is unwholsom and dangerous And therefore in case of showers and incertain weather you shall have for the horse a lined hood with lined ears and the nape of the nec● lined to keep out rain for nothing ● more dangerous then cold wet falling into the ears and upon the nape of the neck and Fillets 4 Lastly observe to give the heats the weather being seasonable as early in the morning as you can that is by the spring of day but by no means in the dark for ● is to the horse both unwholsom and unpleasant to the man a great testimony o● folly and to both an act of danger and precipitation The second fortnights feeding Now to come to the second fortnight feeding touching your first approaching to the Stable and all other by respects a● cleansing and the like you shall do all things as in the first fortnight onely before yo● put on his Bridle give him a quart of oats which as soon as he hath eaten bridle him up and dress him as before shewed then cloath saddle air water exercise and bring him home as before shewed onely you shall not put hay into his rack to tear out but let him eat it out of your hands handfull after handfull and so leave him on his bridle for an hour more then come to him and after rubbing and other ceremonies sist him a quart of oats and set them by then take a loaf of bread that is three days old or thereabout and made in this manner The first Bread Take three pecks of clean Beans and one peck of Wheat mix them together and grind them then boult it through a reasonable fine Raunge and knead it up with great ●●ore of Barm and lightning but with as little water as may be labour it in the Trough painfully knead it break it and after cover it warm and let it lye and swell then knead it over again and mould it up into big loaves like twelvepeny houshold loaves and so bake it well and let it soak soundly after they are drawn turn the bottoms upward and let them cool At three daies old or thereabout you may give this bread but hardly sooner for nothing is worse then new bread yet if necessity compell you that you must sooner give it or that the bread be clammy or dank so as the Horse taketh distast thereat then cut the loaf into thin shivers and lay it abroad in the Sive to dry then crumbling it smal with his oats you may give it safely But to return to my purpose when you have taken a loaf of this bread chip it very well then cut it into thin slyves and put three or four thereof small broken into his oats you had before sifted and so give them to him About eleven a clock come to him and by ceremonies give him the same quantity of bread and oats and so leave him till afternoon At one a clock in the afternoon if you intend not to give him a heat the next day feed him with bread and oats as you did in the fore-noon and so consequently every meal following for that day observing every action and motion as before shewed But if you intend the next day to give him an heat to which I now bend mine aym you shall then only give him a quart of oats clear sifted but no hay and so let him rest till evening At four a clock before you put on his bridle give him a quart of clean sifted oats and when they are eaten bridle him up dress cloath saddle air water exercise bring home and order as before shewed onely give no hay at all After he hath stood an hour on his bridle give him a quart of oats and when they are caten put on his head a sweet muzzel and so let him rest till nine a clock at night Now as touching the use of this Muzzell and which is the best you shall understand that as they are most usefull being good and rightly made so they are dangerous and hurtfull being abused and falsly made The true use of them is to keep the horse from eating up his litter from gnawing upon boards and mud-walls and indeed to keep him from eating any thing but what he receiveth from your own hands These Muzzels are somtimes made of leather and stampt full of holes or else close but they are unsavoury and unwholsom for if it be allomed leather the allom is offensive if it be tann'd or liquored leather the Tanners ouze and grease are fully as unpleasant Besides they are too close and too hot and both make an horse sick and cause him to retain his dung longer in his body then otherwise he would do The best Summer Muzzell and indeed the best generally at all times is the Nermuzzell made of Strong pack-threed and knit exceeding thick and close in the bottom and so inlarged wider and wider upward to the middle of the horses head then bound about the top with Tape and on the nearside a loop and on the farre-side a long string to fasten it to the horses head The best Winter-muzzell and indeed
