leaving the due and just Proportion to your own discretion and Judgement 5ly The second Fortnights Feeding IN this Fortnight you shall do all things as in the first only whereas in the first Fortnight you give him no Oats before his Morning exercise In this second Fortnight you shall before you put on his Bridle in the Morning give him an English quart or Scots Chopin of Oats then Bridle him up and dress him as before ordered afterwards Cloath Saddle Air Water Exercise and bring him home as before shewed only you shall now put no Hay into his Rack but give it him out of your hand handfull after handfull and so leave him on his Bridle for an hour when you come to him again Rub him and after other Ceremonies sift him another English quart or Scots Chopin of Oats and set them by then take a Loaf of Bread that is three dayes old at least and made after this manner 6ly The first Bread TAke three parts of Clean Beans and one part of VVheat according to the Quantity of Bread you intend to back mix and grind them together when grinded Bolt it pretty fine and kned it up with good store of fresh Barm and Lightning but with as little Water as may be labour it very well in a Trough and break it then cover it up warm that it may swell and after wards back it in the form of big Loaves thorowly and let them soak soundly and when they are drow'n from the oven turn up their bottoms that so they may cool when they three dayes old let your horse eat of them but not sooner for new Bread is hurtfull when you give it him Chip it very well and Crumbling it pretty small mix it with his Oats you formerly sifted and set by the Proportion of Bread is left to your own discretion and then leave him till eleven a cloak about eleven a cloak give him the same Quantity of Oats and Bread and let him rest till the 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 in the Forenoon and so every Meal following for that day But if you intend the next day to give him a Heat at which now I aim then you shall only give him an English quart or Scots Chopin of Oats clean sifted but no Hay and so let him rest till evening at four a cloak give him the like quantity of clean sifted Oats and after they are eaten Bridle him up Dress Cloath Sadle Air Water Exercise bring nome and order him as before shewed only give him neither Hay nor Bread amongst his Oats for that night after he hath stood about an hour upon his Bridle give him another measure of Oats and after they are eaten put a sweet and clean Muzzle upon him and thus let him rest till nine at Night Nine a clook being come give him another English Quart or Scots Chopin of clean Oats and when he hath eat them put on his Muzzle again toss up his Litter and so leave him till next Morning 7ly Of the use of Muzzles and how they are made THe use of the Muzzle being rightly made is to keep a 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 they are made sometimes of Leather and stampt full of holes but these are unsavory and unwholsome all Leather Muzzles whatsoever being indeed unpleasant besides they are too closs and hot for the Horse there are also Muzzles made of double Canvass with a round bottom and two long Square Latices Of small Tape one before each Nostirl which Latices reach down to the very bottom and go also upwards more then a hand breadth but the best Muzzles of all both for Winter and Summer are the net Muzzles made of strong Pack threed and knit very thick and closs in the bottom and then enlarged wider and wider upwards to the middle of the Horses head at which place they are bound about with a Tape and have also a Loop and string whereby they are fastned to the Horses head this much of the Muzzle and it use Your horse having stood all night in his Muzzle give him early the next Morning an English Quart or Scots Chopin of Oats rubed between your hands with some Bear or Ale and when he hath eaten them then dress and Sadle him as formerly and being ready to lead him out give him a new laid Egg or two washing his Mouth after it with a little Bear or Ale and so lead him out not forgetting also to provoke him to empty at the door then Mount and Rack him gently to the Course or Ground where you are to Heat making him by the way smell at any other horse dung you shall meet with When you are come within a little way of the Starting place dismount and take off his Body cloath and Breast cloath and girt on the Sadle again leaving your Groom to take care of his Cloaths until you shall come to him again all this being done Rack your Horse gently up to the Starting post if there be any making him smell at it that so he may both be acquainted with it and also know the beginning and ending of the Course there start him roundly and sharply and give him his heat according to the following Directions 8ly Some few things to be observed in giving of Heats IN giving of Heats you are to consider first that two in the Week are sufficient for any Horse of whatsoever Condition or State of Body Secondly That one of themshould alwayes be given upon that day of the Week in which your horse is to run his Match and that also still to be the sharpest for increasing of his Heels or Swiftness the other being only a slow Galloping over the Course more to encrease Wind and cause Sweat then to improve his Speed and therefore I would have you to order them thus Suppose your Match day is to be upon a Monday then your Heating dayes must be Mondays and Frydays and the sharper Heat to be upon the Monday because it is the day of his Match if the day be Tuesday then your Heating days are Tuesdays and Saturdays if Wednesday then Wednesdays and Saturdays by Reason of the LORD's Day if Thursday then Thursdays and M●ndays and so of the rest still observing to Run him more smartly upon these Heating days of the Week in which the Match is appointed to be run then any of the other and that for the Reasons I have already given you Thirdly You shall give no Heat but in case of necessity in rain or foul weather but rather defer hours and change dayes for it is unwholsome and dangerous And therefore in case of sudden shoure and uncertain weather you shall have for your Horse a Hood loynd quite
