    (continued from previous page)
    The race horse is the most valuable, as he may earn a lot of money for his owner, and would fetch a big sum if he was being sold.
    Horses are used in the army too, especially in time of war.
    The horse requires great care, or he may get many diseases. The farm horse feeds on grass in Summer time during the day and night.
    Horses are very fond of sweets or a lump of sugar. When our horse is out on grass and it is hard to catch him, he will stop instantly if we show him a sweet.
    (Madge Jones, Kilconnell)
