Blanketing:—
Call attention to the manner in which large firms so carefully blanket their horses.
Why should a horse be blanketed when he is standing?
Shoeing:—
Notice the cause of slipping, stumbling, and falling on icy or wet pavements, and therefore the necessity for rough shoes, rubber shoes, etc.
If possible, bring into the class a specimen of a patent horseshoe; the shoe and shield of a cart horse.
Harness:—
Is the horse easy in harness?
What sort of a checkrein would you use? Why?
