Show SUN FADES COLOR OF HORSES. Animals With Dlack Coats Are Particularly Partic-ularly Susceptible. "Tho reason you beo so few black horses Is because people let thorn fade," said a horse lover "You may laugh, but a horso fades just ns tho carpet or your own hair fades In tho bright sun. You know how the dazzling daz-zling Bun will bleach your hair In a Short time? Well, If you keep a horso In tho sun constantly tho samo thing happens to him, and his coat changes In color. "Of course, you wouldn't notlco it so much In a bay or chestnut horse, but It Is very noticeable In a black horse. His coat first seems to chnngo Into a rusty black and then changes Into a reddish tint. I havo two black horses and their coats aro like Jet, but I never let them stand In tho sun. I often hitch thorn ncross the road from where I waiit to get out, so as to keop them in the shado. Consequently they haven't faded mite and aro as coal black as wlu urchased them." |
