With very little practice these pieces of felt may be cut to the required shape and thickness with a very sharp knife.

This examination must be made quickly as the elasticity of the blanket soon causes it to lose the impression of the side bars. Any irregularity in the fit of the...

The saddle is now girthed and a man placed in the saddle. It must be kept in mind that the blanket reduces the width of the pommel arch and narrows the saddle across the top of the side bars. The fit of the saddle can never be determined without seeing a man in it; parts may appear out of harm's way, when no weight is in the saddle,...
Page 149 - All rubbish should be cleared from the picket line's and the standings kept level in order that the animals may take a proper amount of rest, which they will not do if the ground is very uneven.
