What reading level is Young Race-Horses; Fresh Pastures for Rearing book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These half-wild animals vary from lo to II hands high ; their stunted growth is due to the poor feed on the mountains and exposure to the severity of the winters The object with the Thoroughbred is not to lay on fat, which animals grazed on rich lands have a tendency to do, but to gain flesh which can be converted into muscle b\- work The deer of the mountains and the hare found on downs whose grass is poor rather than rich are proverbial for their activity, the result of muscular elasticity ; ...the same '9 animals in parks and on low pasture lands where the grass is rich have neither the same speed nor equal endurance The number of animals should be strictly limited in accord with the area of the stud farm, which should be sufficiently extensive to allow periodical changes to fresh land ; one yearling to every four or five acres is plenty. On this point my experience in breeding stock, especially horses, has led me to form a very strong opinion KXPERIENCE GAINED WITH IIEAVV IIORSKS AND HACKNEYS An instance of the benefit derived from the treatment advocated ma)' be mentioned here, though it is an experience gained in breeding heavy horses The theory of fresh grazing has been tested by placing a certain number of mares, on their return from service by the best sire money could procure, upon land where the pasture was not fresh ; in the same year an equal number of mares, served by the same sire under identically similar circumstances, have been placed on pastures which had been freshly laid down, or upon old grass land on which horses had not been grazed for several years 20 The produce in the latter case have been to an extraordinary extent superior in bone, muscle and constitution to their brothers and sisters of the same year The same plan has been followed with the Hackney-bred yearlings of which we have at Elsenham about 30 each year ; they are sent, in lots of ten, to three different grazing pastures When they return in October or November the superior condition of those which have been feeding on wide ranges of pasture, where cattle only had before been grazed, is most marked It is easy, when the whole thirty are paraded together, to pick out the tens and say on which of the three pastures they have been grazed.
