Excerpt from Points on Buying a Horse: Showing the Means by Which Unsoundness and Faults May Be Discovered, Also the Tricks and Methods Frequently Used to Effect Sales
The horse is a noble and useful animal, yet very little is known about him, as regards good and bad points, by the average person. In consequence, when buying for the first time, the buyer must either enlist the services of a friend who is a judge of a horse, employ a veterinary surgeon, or blindly bid in a horse at auction on general appearances and trust to luck that he will turn out satisfactorily.
Such persons seem to forget or entire ly disregard the fact that horses when offered for sale, especially by dealers, are brought to the best possible condition, perhaps having been doctored for weeks prior to sale, and possibly when they pass into their owners' hands will steadily decline and be almost useless.
