Its Keep Management

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. There is a chapter on breeding – stating how many valuable mares are practically lost when they get to a certain age, or, in other words, how many good mares are sold for a trifle, which, with very little trouble and forethought, might be sent to some farmer in the country and bred from. This can easily be done. In some instances a colt can be reared for from GBP35 to GBP40 up to when it is four years old, and if from an extraordinarily good mare it sometimes turns out worth from GBP70 to GBP100.
