Horses. /iROW BANDâBRUSHING upper portion of the vehicle is of glass, the upper back panels are always of wood. (See Carriages}^ Brow-band.âThat part of a bridle or head collar which passes above the eyes across the forehead. (See Harness.) Bruised Oats form a useful food for sick or young horses when mixed with chop. They are also to be recommended when the digestion is impaired by reason of bad teeth, old age, or a habit of bolting food. Bruised oats should be carefully purchased, if they are not prepared on the premises, as grain of inferior quality may be supplied. As they do not keep so well as whole oats, large quantities should not be laid in. (See Feeding, Oats.) Bruises may be caused by accidents of many sorts and are invariably associated with tenderness of the part affected and occasionally by swelling. The first thing to do is to reduce the pain by fomenting the bruise at frequent intervals ; and then, should there be a swelling and the skin is unbroken, some liniment may be rubbed on it. (See Qits, Fomentations. Liniments^ Brushing. â A horse is said to brush when he strikes one fetlock joint with the hoof of the other side as he moves. The injury is more usually associated with the hind-legs than with the front ones. Brushing is due to several causes, the chief of which are faulty shape or action and bad shoeing. In the latter case it may be remedied ; in the former ones it will probably remain incurable. Should the injury be temporary, the fetlock should be protected by a boot of some kind, and a dressing of carbolic acidâone pint to forty of waterâmay be applied.
