The saddle used by the African chasseurs consists of a plain wooden tree, with a pad upon the top, but without skirts, and is somewhat similar to our own military saddle, but lower in the pommel and cantle. The girth and surcingle are of leather, with an ordinary woolen saddle-blanket. Their bridle has a single head-stall, with the Spanish bit buckled to it.
The sore ridge. Stable breastplate. The head-stall. Never physic, bleed, blister, or fire. Food for condition. Rest for strains. Nature for wounds. Miles for shoeing. The horse should have water always by him. And should stand loose. No galloping on hard ground, either by master or man. He who cripples the horse kills him.
