If the pupil will take an ordinary tape measure, he can make some measurements of the horse that will be very interesting as well as profitable. Let him measure:

• 1. The height of the horse at the withers, 1 to 1.
• 2. The height of the horse at croup, 2 to 2.
• 3. Length of shoulder, 1 to 3.
• 4. Length of back, 4.
• 5. Length of head, 5.
• 6. Depth of body, 6 to 6.
• 7. Daylight under body, 7 to 7.
• 8. Distance from point of shoulder to quarter, 3 to 3.
• 9. Width of forehead.
• 10. Width between hips.

Note. Many interesting comparisons can be made (1) by measuring several horses; (2) by studying the proportion between parts of the same horse.
