October H(j7)RSE as a governor of feed, in self-feeding a band of mares or a group of young sters; slotted floors to alleviate bedding; lagoons for manure disposal; and the use of large hay rack to lessen fre quency of hauling. But this is not all! Some ingenious horsemen are now using closed circuit TV’s, with a camera in the maternity stall. They sit at home and enjoy their favorite TV program, interrupted periodically as they switch to Channel X. Next they’ll teach the mare to send out distress calls like, “Wilbur, my midwife, come help me.” As the name indicates, stable vices are those which are observed in con finement. Many of them originate with incompetent handling and lack of exer cise; but once acquired they are dif ficult to cope with or to correct. The common ones are: 1. Bolting.—Eating too fast; usually rectified by placing some baseball sized stones in the feed box. 2. Cribber.—Biting or setting the teeth against the manger (or other object) and sucking in air; remedied by buckling a strap around the neck and compressing the larynx with dis comfort. 3. Halter pulling.—Pulling on the halter when tied. 4. Kicking.—Striking with the hind feet without provocation. 5. Tail rub bing.—Rubbing the tail against the side of the stall or other objects; rectified by installing a tail board. 6. Weaving. — Rhythmical swaying back and forth while standing in the stall. 7. Other Vices.—Balking, rearing, shying, striking with the front feet, running away, and objection to har nessing, saddling, and grooming. YOUR GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY To raise unbeatable livestock.
