{"product_id":"2940016012704","title":"FIRST AID HINTS FOR THE HORSE OWNER A - VETERINARY NOTE BOOK","description":"Horses confined in stables are being kept under\u003cbr\u003eartificial conditions, and in consequence skill is\u003cbr\u003erequired to maintain them in good health. Living\u003cbr\u003eunder natural conditions the horse eats grass ; he eats\u003cbr\u003efor a very considerable number of hours each day and\u003cbr\u003eduring the night ; he feeds in small quantities at\u003cbr\u003efrequent intervals, and he drinks whenever he feels\u003cbr\u003einclined. He has a very small stomach for his size.\u003cbr\u003eThese facts should be borne in mind when horses are\u003cbr\u003ein the stable, and the less the natural conditions are\u003cbr\u003edisturbed the better.\u003cbr\u003eConditioning. Horses intended for hunting during\u003cbr\u003ethe season should be brought in from grass during July\u003cbr\u003eor, at the latest, August. During July the grass begins\u003cbr\u003eto lack the nutritive qualities which it had in May and\u003cbr\u003eJune, and the horse will come up in less soft condition\u003cbr\u003eif he has been given a feed of 5 lb. oats daily the last\u003cbr\u003efew weeks at grass. This extra condition is due partly\u003cbr\u003eto the hard food and partly to the fact that the oats\u003cbr\u003egive the horse more energy and that he therefore takes\u003cbr\u003emore exercise on his own.","brand":"Healthy Horses","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157105492208,"sku":"2940016012704","price":4.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940016012704_p0.jpg?v=1763628078","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016012704","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
