To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
By making this the first operation the wet spots have time to dry, while the other parts of the work are being done. If a curry-comb must be used, have the smoothest one that can be foimd, and use it but sparingly. In the hands of some men the curry-comb is a barbarous instrument of torture. Applied with a long, sweeping motion, without regard to the shape of the body, or the even- ness with which it is held, it will make a poor animal shrink and shiver. The skin is often seriously hurt by the ...angles of the comb, when carelessly and heavily handled. A short motion, back and forth, does the work more effectively and humanely than the severe appli- cation of the comb described. The horse will learn not to dislike it, if he finds he is not hurt. In cleaning a horse, commence at the head with the brush, having it in one hand, and the curry-comb in the other. Brush every part of the body and limbs thoroughly, laying the hairs in their natural direction, and going through them to the skin. Remove dust from the brush by occasionally scraping it on the curry-comb.
