A06903	Cauelarice, or The English horseman contayning all the arte of horse-manship, as much as is necessary for any man to vnderstand, whether he be horse-breeder, horse-ryder, horse-hunter, horse-runner, horse-ambler, horse-farrier, horse-keeper, coachman, smith, or sadler. Together, with the discouery of the subtill trade or mistery of horse-coursers, & an explanatio[n] of the excellency of a horses vndersta[n]ding, or how to teach them to doe trickes like Bankes his curtall: and that horses may be made to drawe drie-foot like a hound.

a_o hour_n or_o two_o before_o sunset_n the_o pleasantness_n of_o which_o two_o season_n will_v provoke_v such_o delight_n in_o the_o horse_n that_o he_o will_v take_v pride_n in_o himself_o it_o will_v get_v he_o such_o a_o stomach_n that_o you_o shall_v hardly_o overfeede_a he_o &_o store_n of_o food_n bring_v ever_o store_n of_o flesh_n and_o strength_n it_o will_v make_v he_o that_o he_o shall_v not_o take_v loath_a unto_o his_o food_n which_o be_v the_o only_a impediment_n that_o attend_v a_o run_a horse_n but_o the_o sore_a you_o feed_v the_o better_a shall_v be_v ever_o his_o

that_o be_v neither_o too_o fat_a nor_o too_o lean_a but_o of_o a_o full_a strength_n and_o perfection_n such_o as_o you_o know_v be_v fit_a for_o the_o exercise_n whereunto_o you_o intend_v he_o than_o you_o shall_v air_n he_o every_o morning_n after_o day_n and_o before_o sun_n rise_v and_o every_o evening_n after_o sunne-sett_a and_o before_o the_o close_n in_o of_o the_o night_n for_o

and_o since_o i_o have_v thus_o show_v you_o the_o diversity_n of_o air_n i_o will_v now_o proceed_v and_o show_v you_o the_o diversity_n and_o nature_n of_o every_o several_a food_n meet_v for_o a_o

for_o bread_n you_o shall_v make_v it_o after_o this_o manner_n take_v of_o fine_a oatemell_n well_o dry_v four_o peck_n bread_n of_o clean_a dry_a bean_n two_o peck_v of_o the_o best_a wheat_n two_o

they_o be_v in_o such_o general_a use_n and_o esteem_v such_o a_o general_a good_a i_o think_v be_v not_o fit_a in_o this_o my_o general_a book_n of_o horsemanship_n to_o omit_v or_o forget_v some_o necessary_a observation_n which_o be_v help_v and_o needful_a to_o be_v know_v unto_o the_o skilful_a coachman_n and_o the_o rather_o since_o the_o commodity_n which_o redound_v thereby_o be_v chief_o employ_v in_o the_o service_n of_o lady_n and_o gentlewoman_n to_o who_o both_o myself_o and_o every_o honest_a man_n be_v in_o his_o first_o creation_n oblige_v yet_o i_o do_v not_o mean_v here_o in_o to_o make_v any_o tedious_a or_o long_a discourse_n either_o of_o the_o benefit_n of_o coach_n the_o diversity_n proportion_n shape_n nor_o alteration_n because_o every_o understanding_n coach-maker_n and_o every_o serviceable_a coachman_n can_v give_v proof_n and_o reason_n of_o each_o difference_n neither_o be_v my_o profession_n to_o meddle_v with_o the_o shape_n of_o timber_n but_o with_o the_o nature_n of_o horse_n nor_o will_v i_o speak_v of_o the_o several_a custom_n or_o fashion_n of_o italy_n or_o france_n because_o as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v judge_v whatsoever_o we_o practise_v in_o this_o art_n of_o coach-governing_a be_v but_o a_o imitation_n of_o the_o shape_n and_o change_n of_o those_o kingdom_n therefore_o for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o mean_v here_o only_o to_o handle_v some_o few_o note_n touch_v the_o choice_n of_o coatch-horse_n their_o keep_n and_o apparal_v first_o then_o to_o speak_v of_o the_o choice_n of_o coach-horse_n some_o be_v of_o the_o opinion_n that_o your_o flemish_a horse_n be_v the_o best_a for_o that_o purpose_n because_o he_o be_v of_o strong_a coatch-horse_n limb_n have_v a_o full_a breast_n a_o good_a chine_n and_o be_v natural_o train_v up_o more_o to_o draught_n then_o to_o burden_n other_o do_v prefer_v before_o these_o horse_n the_o flemish_a mare_n and_o i_o be_o of_o that_o opinion_n also_o both_o because_o of_o their_o more_o temperate_a and_o cool_a spirit_n their_o quiet_a socyablenes_n in_o company_n and_o their_o bringing_n up_o which_o only_o be_v in_o the_o waggon_n by_o which_o mean_n travel_v with_o more_o patience_n they_o be_v ever_o of_o more_o strength_n and_o endurance_n yet_o both_o these_o horse_n and_o mare_n have_v their_o fault_n ever_o couple_v to_o their_o virtue_n as_o first_o their_o pace_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n short_a trot_n which_o contain_v much_o labour_n in_o a_o little_a ground_n and_o so_o bring_v faintness_n of_o spirit_n in_o little_a journey_n whereas_o indeed_o a_o coach_n horse_n shall_v stretch_v forth_o his_o foot_n and_o the_o smooth_a and_o long_o he_o stride_v the_o more_o way_n he_o rid_v and_o the_o soon_o come_v to_o his_o journey_n end_v without_o tire_v next_o their_o limb_n from_o the_o knee_n and_o cambrel_n downward_o be_v so_o rough_a and_o hairy_a and_o the_o horse_n natural_o of_o themselves_o so_o subject_a to_o salt_n and_o fret_a humour_n in_o those_o part_n that_o neither_o can_v the_o coachman_n keep_v they_o from_o the_o pain_n scratch_n mallender_n sellander_n and_o such_o like_a disease_n nor_o the_o farryer_n oft_o time_n with_o his_o best_a skill_n cure_v they_o when_o they_o be_v disease_v last_o they_o be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n of_o resty_a &_o hot_a spirit_n so_o that_o albeit_o they_o be_v excellent_a and_o forward_a in_o the_o draught_n yet_o in_o our_o english_a nation_n among_o our_o deep_a caly_n and_o miry_a way_n they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o continue_v but_o grow_v faint_a and_o weary_a of_o their_o labour_n and_o it_o be_v ever_o a_o rule_n among_o they_o that_o after_o they_o have_v be_v once_o tire_v there_o be_v no_o mean_n again_o to_o restore_v they_o to_o their_o first_o mettle_n or_o spirit_n now_o to_o tell_v you_o my_o opinion_n which_o be_v the_o best_a coach-horse_n either_o for_o street_n of_o city_n or_o journey_v upon_o high_a way_n i_o hold_v not_o any_o horse_n comparable_a either_o for_o strength_n courage_n or_o labour_n with_o the_o large_a shape_a english_a gelding_n for_o he_o be_v as_o mild_a and_o sociable_a as_o the_o flemish_a mare_n more_o able_a to_o endure_v travel_n better_o shape_v and_o long_o continue_v in_o service_n for_o the_o mare_n if_o she_o be_v proud_o keep_v as_o of_o necessity_n the_o coach_n mare_n must_v be_v she_o will_v then_o covet_v the_o horse_n and_o if_o she_o have_v he_o and_o hold_v to_o he_o her_o year_n service_n be_v lose_v if_o she_o want_v he_o you_o shall_v either_o endanger_v her_o life_n with_o the_o corruption_n of_o her_o pride_n or_o else_o with_o leprosy_n but_o if_o they_o be_v speade_v or_o gelte_v mare_n they_o be_v they_o the_o worst_a of_o all_o for_o the_o body_n &_o spirit_n be_v somuch_o overcoold_v they_o be_v utter_o disable_v for_o any_o violent_a extremity_n look_v how_o much_o the_o gelding_n be_v short_a of_o the_o stond-horse_n in_o courage_n somuch_o be_v the_o speed_n mare_n short_a of_o the_o gelding_n wherefore_o for_o the_o avoidance_n of_o all_o inconvenience_n the_o best_a for_o the_o coach_n be_v the_o large_a strong_a english_a gelding_n the_o next_o he_o be_v the_o flemish_a mare_n and_o the_o last_o be_v the_o flemish_a horse_n the_o pollander_n be_v exceed_o good_a but_o he_o be_v somewhat_o too_o little_a &_o too_o fierce_a of_o nature_n but_o for_o tire_v that_o will_v he_o seldom_o or_o never_o do_v with_o any_o indifferent_a order_n when_o you_o have_v determine_v touch_v the_o breed_n or_o race_n of_o your_o coach-horse_n you_o shall_v then_o look_v to_o their_o shape_n &_o colour_n first_o for_o their_o colour_n i_o have_v former_o show_v you_o which_o be_v the_o best_a so_o that_o you_o shall_v observe_v that_o in_o any_o case_n so_o never_o as_o you_o can_v choose_v they_o your_o coach-horse_n be_v all_o of_o one_o colour_n without_o diversity_n &_o that_o their_o mark_n or_o especial_a semblance_n be_v also_o

the_o like_a also_o for_o their_o shape_n you_o shall_v choose_v a_o lean_a proportion_a head_n a_o strong_a &_o firm_a neck_n a_o full_a broad_a &_o round_a out-breast_n a_o limb_n flat_a short_a joint_v lean_a and_o well_o haired_a a_o good_a bend_a rib_n a_o strong_a back_n and_o a_o round_a buttock_n general_o they_o will_v be_v of_o a_o broad_a strong_a make_n and_o of_o the_o tall_a
