BY RUDOLPH JORDAN^ E would have obtained a better type of harness horse a long time ago had we observed the necessity of its utility as well as its speed, and even now we could gradually form a better type of gait, by persistent and intelli- gent effort, by making the locomotion of that ani- mal more perfect from one generation to another. In the end a nearly perfect gait would be natural to the harness horse. In order to correct the de- fects of a gait we should have as clear an idea of the locomotion as possible. After that has been obtained the remedies do not appear so mysterious as before. When we speak of a defect in the locomotion of the horse we generally mean any visible sign of an uneven action and of the interference of the four feet. We judge too much by the eye when the animal is in motion, while more may be learned from the relations of the legs as expressed.
