TENDING HORSES AT THE FRONT
When an army horse is wounded about the face or jaw, it is not sent down to the veterinary lines, but is kept to be tendedc by its drivere. Then it is that a good driver’s care comes in, for the men tend them most carefully, feeding them by hand, boiling their oats, making them mashes, and spending most of the day with their charges, until they can feed in comfort. It is this personal care of the m an for his horse that has been the cause of the now order that all horses have to be returned from hospital to their own units again; for a man’s care is by no means transferred to the same extent to a new team of horses.
