Book Description
Excerpt from The Adventures of a Gentleman in Search of a Horse There are not many men who are acquainted with their own weight with any degree of accuracy; yet the importance of even a few pounds more or less upon the back of a horse, will be felt immediately by observing the consequences attached to it on the turf; the difi'erence of four pounds extra weight will always be found materially to affect the betting upon a horse. It is scarcely necessary to remind the reader that his riding weight is always calculated at a stone above his actual weight; that allowance being usually made for the saddle and bridle. Perhaps there is no single cause that so frequently brings horses down, as their being over-weighted. A dull horse with scarcely a stone more than he is accustomed to bear, will turn sulky and careless the rider becomes impatient, and urges him to exertion; the usual pace of the horse is broken, and a fall is the natural result.
