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. Secrets before vnpublished, & now carefully set down for the profit of this whole nation: by Geruase Markham.	Markham, Gervase, 1568?-1637.	1607 (1607)	STC 17334; ESTC S120787	427,164	770

beget_v a_o swift_a beast_n but_o if_o you_o will_v breed_v only_o a_o tough_a hunt_a horse_n there_o be_v none_o better_o as_o by_o daily_a experience_n we_o find_v then_o the_o fair_a breed_v english_a horse_n and_o the_o english_a mare_n but_o if_o you_o will_v breed_v easy_a amble_a horse_n for_o travel_n and_o the_o use_n of_o journey_v there_o be_v none_o better_a than_o the_o turk_n or_o irish_a hobby_n so_o they_o be_v mix_v with_o either_o english_a amble_n mare_n or_o bastard_n mare_n of_o their_o own_o country_n that_o likewise_o amble_v perfect_o i_o have_v see_v many_o amble_a horse_n breed_v from_o jenet_n of_o spain_n yet_o by_o reason_n of_o his_o slenderness_n of_o limb_n and_o length_n of_o pastern_n i_o esteem_v he_o not_o altogether_o so_o good_a as_o the_o two_o former_a now_o last_o if_o you_o will_v breed_v horse_n for_o the_o draught_n as_o either_o for_o coach_n or_o cart_n or_o horse_n for_o the_o portage_n of_o great_a burden_n as_o either_o for_o sumpter_n or_o pack_n man_n the_o flaunders_n friesland_n or_o almain_n horse_n be_v your_o best_a stallyon_n the_o flaunders_n or_o friesland_n for_o the_o coach_n or_o cart_n and_o the_o almain_n for_o the_o burden_n and_o for_o either_o of_o these_o purpose_n the_o mare_n be_v in_o all_o part_n as_o serviceable_a as_o the_o horse_n according_a to_o our_o present_a experience_n in_o england_n at_o this_o instant_n now_o you_o be_v to_o understand_v that_o as_o all_o these_o horse_n in_o their_o several_a fore_n name_v use_n be_v most_o best_o so_o likewise_o their_o colt_n thus_o beget_v which_o of_o some_o horseman_n be_v call_v bastardy_n be_v likewise_o excellent_a stallyon_n for_o i_o own_o part_n i_o will_v to_o choose_v breed_n soon_o of_o a_o bastard_n courser_n bastard_n jenet_n turk_n or_o barbary_n then_o of_o the_o natural_a horse_n of_o the_o own_o country_n and_o my_o reason_n be_v by_o their_o mixture_n with_o our_o mare_n all_o the_o imperfection_n of_o their_o own_o country_n be_v amend_v as_o in_o the_o courser_n his_o length_n of_o head_n and_o want_v of_o crest_n which_o many_o time_n be_v imperfect_a in_o the_o jenet_n his_o weakness_n of_o jointe_n and_o in_o the_o turk_n and_o barbary_n their_o slendernes_n of_o limb_n the_o flaunders_n and_o friesland_n which_o be_v so_o extreme_a rough_a and_o hairy_a about_o their_o pastern_n that_o the_o best_a keeper_n can_v preserve_v they_o from_o scratch_n pain_n and_o mallender_n be_v by_o mixture_n with_o our_o mare_n bring_v to_o a_o clean_a race_n of_o sufficient_a tolerable_a limb_n so_o as_o they_o need_v not_o be_v keep_v but_o will_v keep_v themselves_o from_o sor●ances_n they_o also_o by_o mix_v with_o our_o mare_n have_v their_o head_n much_o amend_v &_o their_o hoof_n infinite_o much_o better_o harden_v which_o of_o all_o the_o part_n of_o those_o country_n horse_n be_v the_o worst_a &_o of_o least_o endurance_n all_o which_o i_o think_v when_o a_o perfect_a judgement_n shall_v take_v into_o his_o consideration_n it_o shall_v appear_v great_a honour_n to_o our_o nation_n and_o much_o shame_n to_o they_o who_o have_v wrong_v it_o with_o former_a misreporting_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o mix_n of_o raze_n chap._n 4._o of_o the_o choice_n of_o stallion_n and_o mare_n the_o knowledge_n of_o their_o age_n by_o diverse_a observation_n and_o of_o their_o shape_n for_o as_o much_o as_o every_o thing_n be_v make_v most_o perfect_a sufficient_a and_o of_o long_a continuanee_n by_o the_o strength_n and_o surety_n of_o his_o first_o ground_n work_n or_o foundation_n which_o indeed_o be_v the_o chief_a masterpiece_n of_o all_o that_o grow_v from_o that_o beginning_n i_o therefore_o advise_v all_o those_o worthy_a one_o who_o will_v be_v the_o breeder_n of_o the_o best_a horse_n to_o have_v a_o especial_a care_n to_o the_o first_o choice_n &_o creation_n of_o their_o studd_n since_o if_o in_o the_o beginning_n there_o be_v either_o insufficiency_n or_o blemish_n it_o be_v most_o likely_a such_o stain_n will_v by_o continuance_n grow_v to_o be_v more_o &_o more_o vild_a &_o ugly_a &_o in_o this_o circumspection_n there_o be_v nothing_o of_o more_o importance_n than_o the_o well_o choose_v of_o your_o stallyon_n and_o mare_n since_o they_o be_v the_o live_a body_n from_o whence_o you_o be_v to_o derive_v both_o your_o delight_n and_o profit_n he_o therefore_o that_o will_v choose_v a_o perfect_a stallion_n say_v one_o writer_n must_v respect_v his_o beauty_n goodness_n and_o age_n another_o say_v shape_n colour_n merit_n and_o beauty_n which_o indeed_o be_v all_o one_o with_o the_o former_a and_o i_o hold_v they_o principal_a observation_n but_o i_o will_v likewise_o have_v add_v unto_o they_o his_o descent_n and_o generation_n for_o albeit_o a_o clown_n may_v beget_v a_o beautiful_a son_n yet_o shall_v he_o never_o begette_v a_o heroy●call_a spirit_n but_o it_o will_v ever_o have_v some_o touch_n of_o

youth_n which_o be_v few_o year_n yet_o still_o his_o inward_a part_n may_v retain_v a_o secret_a vildness_n of_o disposition_n which_o may_v be_v insufferable_a in_o breed_v now_o for_o his_o beauty_n which_o only_o be_v contain_v in_o his_o colour_n &_o shape_n all_o be_v i_o have_v in_o the_o next_o book_n write_v sufficient_o touch_v they_o too_o yet_o i_o will_v here_o a_o little_a glance_n at_o they_o by_o compare_v with_o they_o the_o opinion_n of_o some_o other_o writer_n first_o for_o the_o opinion_n of_o gesner_n which_o meare_o be_v no_o good_a opinion_n at_o all_o in_o horse-manship_a but_o a_o collection_n of_o idle_a tale_n he_o say_v the_o best_a colour_n be_v bay_n white_z carnation_n golden_a russet_a mouse_n colour_n fleabitten_a pied_a black_a &_o pale_a pied_a blue_a &_o gray_a have_v he_o put_v in_o also_o orengtawny_a willow_n colour_n &_o such_o like_a all_o the_o world_n can_v not_o have_v go_v beyond_o he_o neither_o shall_v the_o spaniard_n nor_o italian_n have_v need_n to_o have_v die_v their_o horse_n mane_n &_o tail_n if_o horse_n can_v have_v be_v breed_v of_o such_o colour_n but_o to_o let_v pass_v such_o frivolous_a note_n the_o best_a colour_n for_o a_o stallion_n be_v brown_a bay_n daple_v daple_n gray_a bright_a bay_n or_o white_a lyard_n the_o roan_n the_o pure_a black_a with_o white_a star_n white_a foot_n or_o white_a rach_n or_o the_o black_a bay_n which_o have_v neither_o mealy_a mouth_n norred_a flank_n be_v also_o sufferable_a a_o stallion_n will_v be_v all_o of_o one_o colour_n yet_o not_o according_a to_o the_o opinion_n of_o gesner_n his_o main_a &_o body_n of_o one_o colour_n for_o that_o be_v most_o vild_a for_o a_o bright_a bay_n horse_n will_v have_v a_o black_a main_n &_o tail_n &_o black_a out_o

stallion_n except_o it_o be_v for_o he_o who_o esteem_v more_o the_o strangeness_n of_o colour_n they_o the_o goodness_n of_o horse_n place_n his_o delight_n in_o motleye_a generation_n to_o such_o a_o one_o a_o pied_a stallion_n be_v best_a and_o of_o pide_n the_o black_a and_o white_a &_o bright_a bay_n &_o white_a be_v most_o choice_a &_o not_o blue_a carnation_n or_o golden_a pied_a for_o his_o shape_n in_o general_n i_o refer_v you_o to_o the_o next_o book_n where_o i_o have_v not_o as_o i_o hope_v omit_v the_o least_o tittle_n in_o preportion_n only_o for_o some_o particular_a thing_n which_o be_v to_o be_v most_o respect_v in_o a_o stallion_n then_o in_o any_o other_o horse_n i_o will_v give_v my_o opinion_n first_o for_o his_o head_n it_o must_v be_v lean_a slender_a &_o small_a about_o his_o mussel_n at_o the_o set_n on_o of_o his_o head_n to_o his_o neck_n you_o must_v have_v a_o especial_a regard_n that_o his_o neck_n swell_v not_o up_o about_o his_o chaule_n or_o that_o the_o kirnell_n which_o run_v betwixt_o his_o neck_n and_o his_o chaule_n be_v thick_a or_o big_a for_o it_o be_v a_o great_a sign_n of_o sloth_n and_o thickness_n of_o wind_n which_o be_v a_o great_a fault_n in_o the_o stallion_n especial_o if_o his_o master_n expect_v to_o breed_v from_o he_o either_o run_a horse_n hunt_v horse_n or_o good_a traveller_n neither_o must_v he_o have_v wall_n eye_n or_o white_a spect_n in_o his_o eye_n you_o must_v have_v care_n that_o your_o stallion_n yard_n be_v all_o of_o one_o colour_n &_o not_o pied_a or_o spot_a for_o what_o stallion_n have_v such_o a_o falr_n beget_v weak_a foal_v or_o for_o the_o most_o part_n of_o phlegmatic_a

complexion_n which_o be_v seldom_o good_a either_o for_o use_n or_o hardness_n his_o stone_n will_v be_v of_o a_o mean_a size_n without_o wart_n or_o knob_n well_o truss_v up_o &_o close_o to_o his_o body_n for_o if_o either_o they_o hang_v side_n or_o one_o hang_v lower_v they_o another_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o surfer_n sickness_n or_o dulness_n of_o spirit_n if_o your_o stallion_n have_v under_o his_o chap_n long_o thin_a hair_n like_o a_o beard_n which_o also_o extend_v downward_o even_o to_o his_o breast_n it_o be_v much_o better_o and_o a_o great_a sign_n of_o swiftness_n also_o you_o must_v take_v care_n that_o your_o stallion_n be_v free_a from_o all_o natural_a disease_n as_o excression_n which_o be_v splent_n spaven_n serew_n ringbones_o curb_v or_o such_o like_a if_o they_o put_v forth_o or_o appear_v before_o a_o horse_n come_v to_o handle_v or_o if_o he_o be_v subject_a to_o lunatic_n eye_n or_o to_o wenn_n on_o his_o body_n or_o such_o like_a and_o thus_o much_o for_o his_o shape_n now_o for_o his_o goodness_n it_o be_v true_a as_o some_o write_v that_o it_o be_v of_o two_o sort_n either_o natural_a or_o artificial_a his_o natural_a goodness_n consist_v in_o his_o strength_n and_o ability_n of_o body_n for_o the_o performance_n of_o the_o art_n of_o generation_n in_o his_o health_n agility_n swiftness_n and_o good_a disposition_n his_o artificial_a in_o the_o manner_n of_o show_v his_o natural_a virtue_n which_o be_v always_o the_o best_a discern_v under_o his_o rider_n but_o in_o as_o much_o as_o that_o artificial_a grace_n do_v little_a avail_n in_o generation_n it_o shall_v be_v the_o breeder_n principal_a office_n to_o take_v especial_a knowledge_n of_o his_o natural_a perfection_n which_o if_o he_o shall_v find_v answerable_a to_o my_o former_a demonstration_n he_o may_v presume_v upon_o his_o fitness_n for_o that_o purpose_n and_o yet_o i_o will_v not_o have_v you_o so_o serious_o to_o regard_v his_o natural_a goodness_n that_o you_o utterlie_o neglect_v his_o artificial_a but_o rather_o if_o you_o shall_v behold_v a_o horse_n under_o the_o rider_n of_o infinite_a spirit_n and_o endurance_n or_o of_o wonderful_a speed_n pride_n and_o stateliness_n that_o albeit_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n in_o he_o you_o can_v wish_v amend_v yet_o to_o bear_v with_o they_o and_o breed_v upon_o he_o for_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o other_o virtue_n now_o forasmuch_o as_o some_o whether_o out_o of_o curiosity_n to_o appear_v excellent_a in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o supernatural_a thing_n or_o to_o give_v a_o satisfaction_n to_o such_o as_o out_o of_o their_o too_o much_o search_v will_v become_v horse-midwive_n have_v set_v down_o as_o a_o especial_a regard_n in_o the_o natural_a goodness_n of_o a_o stallyon_n to_o know_v the_o goodness_n or_o illnesse_n of_o the_o horse_n seed_n which_o experience_n for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o have_v ever_o shun_v as_o a_o thing_n loathsome_a ungentill_a unnatural_a and_o most_o unmanlye_a yet_o for_o as_o much_o as_o in_o this_o work_n i_o covet_v to_o satisfy_v every_o several_a desire_n i_o will_v set_v down_o what_o other_o think_v touch_v that_o

will_v know_v the_o goodness_n of_o your_o horse_n seed_n you_o shall_v when_o he_o cover_v a_o mare_n cause_v he_o to_o shed_v some_o of_o his_o seed_n into_o water_n and_o if_o it_o sink_v it_o be_v good_a if_o it_o float_v aloft_o it_o be_v naught_o another_o say_v if_o you_o take_v the_o seed_n of_o the_o horse_n into_o wool_n or_o between_o your_o finger_n and_o your_o thumb_n and_o if_o it_o rope_n and_o be_v slimy_a like_o birdlime_n than_o it_o be_v good_a but_o if_o it_o be_v thin_a and_o loose_a like_o whey_n than_o it_o be_v naught_o with_o other_o such_o like_a midwifely_a precept_n which_o i_o wish_v every_o good_a breeder_n rather_o to_o hazard_v then_o prove_v the_o experiment_n now_o for_o the_o age_n of_o your_o stallion_n though_o pliny_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o a_o horse_n may_v be_v put_v to_o a_o mare_n at_o two_o year_n old_a and_o continue_v get_v foal_v till_o he_o be_v thirty_o three_o year_n old_a yet_o for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o like_v neither_o the_o

therefore_o in_o these_o day_n how_o ever_o it_o have_v be_v in_o former_a age_n for_o to_o put_v a_o horse_n to_o a_o mare_n be_v when_o he_o be_v betwixt_o four_o and_o five_o year_n old_a at_o what_o time_n he_o get_v the_o goodly_a great_a &_o best_a spirit_a colt_n in_o spain_n i_o have_v hear_v the_o spaniard_n say_v they_o let_v their_o colt_n run_v with_o their_o mare_n till_o they_o cover_v their_o dam_n &_o indeed_o i_o have_v see_v very_o young_a horse_n in_o some_o of_o their_o island_n raze_n but_o i_o utter_o dislike_v such_o breed_n for_o it_o be_v vild_a and_o unnatural_a for_o as_o pliny_n report_v a_o horse_n be_v hoodwink_v while_o he_o cour_v a_o mare_n after_o perceive_v it_o be_v his_o own_o dam_n run_v up_o to_o the_o rock_n and_o break_v his_o own_o neck_n and_o also_o that_o a_o mare_n in_o the_o territory_n of_o realte_v kill_v her_o keeper_n for_o the_o like_a which_o report_v albeit_o they_o carry_v not_o the_o fair_a liury_n of_o truth_n yet_o be_v they_o precedent_n unto_o we_o that_o such_o manner_n of_o breed_n be_v not_o by_o former_a horseman_n allow_v of_o and_o this_o in_o my_o own_o experience_n i_o have_v both_o find_v and_o know_v that_o if_o a_o man_n will_v continue_v his_o breed_n altogether_o in_o one_o strain_n without_o any_o alteration_n or_o strangeness_n shall_v in_o the_o end_n find_v his_o studd_n to_o decay_v and_o loose_v both_o stature_n strength_n and_o comeliness_n which_o do_v intimate_v to_o i_o that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a dislike_n in_o such_o kind_n of_o breed_v let_v your_o horse_n therefore_o as_o before_o i_o say_v be_v of_o the_o age_n offoure_n or_o five_o year_n old_a or_o betwixt_o that_o age_n and_o fourteen_o or_o fifteen_o at_o the_o most_o for_o after_o that_o time_n he_o be_v past_o the_o use_n of_o generation_n except_o he_o be_v some_o principal_a rare_a horse_n as_o some_o i_o have_v see_v that_o have_v get_v very_o sufficient_a foal_v at_o eighteen_o and_o twenty_o year_n old_a clear_o disproove_v the_o opinion_n of_o gesner_n which_o say_v that_o old_a horse_n get_v lame_a foal_v a_o thing_n both_o false_a and_o ridiculous_a except_o he_o account_v the_o hollowness_n of_o the_o eye_n or_o sadness_n of_o countenance_n lameness_n which_o be_v the_o great_a fault_n a_o old_a horse_n beget_v for_o whereas_o some_o hold_v opinion_n that_o a_o old_a horse_n foal_n be_v more_o tender_v they_o the_o other_o and_o more_o subject_a to_o sickness_n and_o infirmity_n i_o have_v for_o my_o own_o part_n find_v the_o contrary_a not_o approve_v many_o colt_n more_o sufficient_a for_o health_n or_o of_o more_o ability_n in_o nature_n to_o endure_v sickness_n when_o it_o chance_v than_o the_o colt_n of_o a_o old_a horse_n yet_o that_o such_o a_o old_a horse_n will_v have_v beget_v a_o much_o better_a colt_n in_o his_o youth_n i_o make_v no_o question_n by_o which_o i_o conclude_v that_o the_o young_a horse_n be_v for_o breed_v the_o most_o principal_a but_o the_o good_a old_a horse_n in_o extremity_n or_o necessity_n not_o to_o be_v forsake_v provide_v always_o that_o he_o be_v sound_a of_o his_o limb_n and_o body_n unless_o it_o be_v such_o disease_n as_o come_v mere_o by_o mischance_n or_o casualty_n and_o now_o since_o i_o have_v proceed_v thus_o far_o in_o the_o age_n of_o horse_n it_o shall_v be_v requisite_a that_o i_o show_v you_o how_o you_o shall_v know_v the_o age_n of_o any_o horse_n whatsoever_o first_o by_o the_o pride_n fullness_n and_o cheerfulness_n of_o a_o horse_n countenance_n we_o adjudge_v his_o age_n for_o

to_o take_v his_o skin_n betwixt_o your_o finger_n and_o your_o thumb_n and_o pluck_v it_o from_o the_o flesh_n then_o let_v it_o go_v again_o if_o it_o sudden_o return_v to_o the_o place_n from_o
