(See Feeding,') Make.—See Conformation. Making.—See Schooling. Mallenders consist of cracks which appear in the skin at the backs of the knees, as a result of the horse lying down with his hind shoes rubbing against the part of the fore - leg which is affected. They are preceded by a good deal of scurfiness and roughness of the hair, and if not taken in time will grow deep and cause a good deal of trouble and a permanent blemish, owing to the flesh thickening and becoming hard. Treatment.—Opening medicine and cooling diet to reduce any heat of the blood and tendency to fever; wash the cracks once with soft soap and warm water, and apply daily an ointment of burnt alum 60 grains, red oxide of mercury 20 grains, well powdered, lard 7 drams. (See Sallenders.) Mallender. Manchurian Pony.—This is an extremely useful though very slow pony which stands about 13 hands high or a little over. Amongst the good points of this breed may be mentioned a very robust constitution, surefootedness, and exceptionally good legs and feet, which qualities doubtless influenced Lieutenant Shackleton when he decided upon taking some Manchurian ponies with him in his voyage to the South Pole. The breed is somewhat heavier in build 203
