Description:This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1896 edition. Excerpt: ... T. B. Drybrough (and so did the late Mr. Moray Brown) thinks highly of Barbs. Mr. Drybrough maintains that the reason why few Barbs are exported, is that the dealers cannot afford to buy really good ones, which the rich natives keep for themselves. In my opinion the faults of Barbs for polo are: --1. Want of speed. 2. Inability to go through deep ground, stay, or carry weight. 3. The possession of at least one, if not several, vices, such as refusing to face a scrimmage or a back-hander, refusing to hustle, looking round and trying to savage other ponies instead of doing their best in the game, and being sluggish. 4. Want of courage, and tendency to become jady if hurt by ball or stick. 5. Softheartedness, which is often shown by their doing well enough in ordinary games; but cutting it when forced to go faster than they like, and against better ponies than themselves. Their merits are: --1. Soundness, and ability to stand with impunity the ill effects of galloping on hard ground. 2. Handiness, quickness in learning the game, and the possession of good mouths. 3. Cheapness. 4. Facility for being played by weak or indifferent horsemen. BARBS. In fine, the Barb is essentially a pony for an unambitious player, and does well enough for ordinary club games, or in places like Malta and Gibraltar, where they are not called upon to meet animals of good class. Barb blood, for instance, Lord Harrington's Awfully Jolly, has nicked with our English mares. I think, however, that equally satisfactory results could be obtained by a cross with a high-caste Arab, which can always be procured without trouble. The points of Barbs are much the same as Syrians, except that they are more goose-rumped. They are frequently high on the leg. As a rule, they are.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
