     To meet the case in which the object is to buy a horse already fit for 

riding�察   �we    will   set   down     certain   memoranda�撮�1�А       �which�察    �if  applied 

intelligently�察�may save the purchaser from being cheated。 

     ��1�А �Which the purchaser should lay to   heart�察�if   he does not wish   to 

be cheated。; 

     First�察�then�察�let there be no mistake about the age。 If the horse has lost 

his mark teeth�撮�2�А�not only will the purchaser's hopes be blighted�察�but he 

may find himself saddled for ever with a sorry bargain。��3�А�

     ��2�А   �Or�察  �the   milk    teeth�察─  �i。e。  is  more    than   five   years    old。  See 

Morgan�察�p。 126。 

     ��3�А  �Lit。   ;a  horse    that  has   lost  his   milk   teeth   cannot    be   said  to 

gladden      his  owner's    mind    with   hopes�察   �and   is  not   so  easily   disposed 

of。; 

     Given that the fact of youth is well established�察�let there be no mistake 

about   another   matter�此  �how   does   he   take   the   bit   into   his   mouth   and   the 

headstall��4�А�over his ears�拭�There need be little ambiguity on this score�察�if 

the purchaser will see the bit inserted and again removed�察�under his eyes。 

Next�察�let it be carefully noted how the horse stands being mounted。 Many 

horses   are   extremely   loath   to   admit   the   approach   of   anything   which�察  �if 

once accepted�察�clearly means to them enforced exertion。 

     ��4�А。�koruphaia���察�part of the ��khalinos�� gear。 

     Another point to ascertain is whether the horse�察�when mounted�察�can be 

induced to leave other horses�察�or when being ridden past a group of horses 

standing�察�will not bolt off to join the company。 Some horses again�察�as the 

result of bad training�察�will run away from the exercising´ground and make 

for   the stable。 A hard   mouth   may  be   detected  by  the   exercise   called  the 

��pede�� or volte�撮�5�А�and still more so by varying the direction of the volte 

to right or left。 Many horses will not attempt to run away except for the 



                                                11

combines�察�as it were�察�with a bad mouth。; ��e 。 。 。 ekphora�� = ;the                        exit 

from the manege or riding school。; 

     Another point which it is necessary to learn is�察�whether when let go at 

full   speed   the   horse   can   be   pulled   up��7�А  �sharp   and   is   willing   to   wheel 

round in obedience to the rein。 

     ��7�А    。�analambanetai���察         �come       to    the    poise;     ��Morgan��。       For 

��apostrephesthai�� see ix。6�察�tech。 ;caracole。; 

     It is also well to ascertain by experience if the horse you propose to 

purchase   will   show   equal   docility   in   response   to   the   whip。   Every   one 

knows what a useless thing a servant is�察�or a body of troops�察�that will not 

obey。 A disobedient horse is not only useless�察�but may easily play the part 

of an arrant traitor。 

     And since it is assumed that the horse to be purchased is intended for 

war�察  �we   must   widen   our   test   to   include   everything   which   war   itself   can 

bring to the proof�此�such as leaping ditches�察�scrambling over walls�察�scaling 

up and springing off high banks。 We must test his paces by galloping him 

up and down steep pitches and sharp inclines and along a slant。 For each 

and all of these will serve as a touchstone to gauge the endurance of his 

spirit and the soundness of his body。 

     I am far from saying�察�indeed�察�that because an animal fails to perform 

all these parts to perfection�察�he must straightway be rejected�察�since many a 

horse will fall short at first�察�not from inability�察�but from want of experience。 

With teaching�察�practice�察�and habit�察�almost any horse will come to perform 

all these feats beautifully�察�provided he be sound and free from vice。 Only 

you must beware of a horse that is naturally of a nervous temperament。 An 

over´timorous       animal     will  not   only   prevent    the   rider  from    using    the 

vantage´ground   of its   back   to   strike   an   enemy�察 �but   is   as likely  as   not   to 

bring him to earth himself and plunge him into the worst of straits。

     We   must�察  �also�察  �find   out   of   the   horse   shows   any  viciousness   towards 

other horses or towards human beings�察�also�察�whether he is skittish�撮�8�А�such 

defects are apt to cause his owner trouble。

on   this   score�察  �if�察  �when   he   has   gone   through   his   work�察  �you   will   try   and 

repeat   the   precise   operations   which   he   went   through   before   you   began 

your   ride。   Any   horse   that   having   done   his   work   shows   a   readiness   to 

undergo      it  all  again�察  �affords    sufficient    evidence     thereby    of   spirit  and 

endurance。

     We    will   now    suppose    the  purchaser     has   found    a  horse   which    he 

admires�撮�1�А�the purchase is effected�察�and he has brought him homehow is 

he to be housed�拭�It is best that the stable should be placed in a quarter of 

the    establishment     where     the   master    will  see   the   horse    as  often   as 

possible。��2�А�It is a good thing also to have his stall so arranged that there 

will be as little risk of the horse's food being stolen from the manger�察�as of 

the master's from his larder or store´ closet。 To neglect a detail of this kind 

is surely to neglect oneself�察�since in the hour of danger�察�it is certain�察�the 

owner   has   to   consign   himself�察  �life   and   limb�察  �to   the   safe   keeping   of   his 

horse。 

     ��1�А�Lit。 ;To proceed�此�when you have bought a horse which you admire 

and have brought him home。; 

     ��2�А�i。e。 ;where he will be brought as frequently as possible under the 

master's eye。; Cf。 ;Econ。; xii。 20。 

     Nor is it only to avoid the risk of food being stolen that a secure horse´ 

box    is  desirable�察  �but   for  the  further   reason   that   if  the  horse  takes   to 

scattering     his  food�察  �the  action   is  at  once   detected�察   �and   any   one   who 

observes that happening may take it as a sign and symptom either of too 

much     blood�撮�3�А   �which    calls  for   veterinary   aid�察  �or  of  over´fatigue�察   �for 

which rest is the cure�察�or else that an attack of indigestion��4�А�or some other 

malady is coming on。 And just as with human beings�察�so with the horse�察�all 

diseases are more curable at their commencement��5�А�than after they have 

become chronic�察�or been wrongly treated。��6�А�

     But if food and exercise with a view to strengthening the horse's body 

are matters of prime consideration�察�no less important is it to pay attention 

to the feet。 A stable with a damp and smooth floor will spoil the best hoof
