Show TEMPER OF HORSES From the Edinburgh Review The supply of horses to India is essentially es-sentially by importation and though the Arab of Najd may know if he have a promising colt that a market is to be found for him among dealers who will take him across the Indian Ocean there never can be the same kind of careful breeding for a special purpose as In this country That the endurance of the Arabian horse is great cannot be questioned it has been shown in the most practical ways not only in carryIng carry-Ing the light Bedouin for days over the desert but chargers from the Euphrates Eu-phrates have carried our soldiers to Candahar and Cabul to Pekln and Magdala But the Arabian horse has habitually to perform long journeys and mere habit will enable him to xJo more than a horse unaccustomed to this kind of work But there can be little doubt that after proper exercise the feats of endurance of the Arabian would not be unaccomplished by the English horse Again too there can also be no doubt as to the sagacity of the Arabian horse and it Is a reproach to us and our civilization The Arabian horse after long ages of companionship with his master may have become iby nature na-ture more tractable but if the English horse from his bfrth upward was as well treated as is the Arabian horse the socalled vicious animals which are met with In this country would be few In number |
