EDITOR FRANK GRIFFIS Assistant Editor Pat Little There is a $2 a day boarding fee at the Large Animal Clinic which covers expenses for a nor mal-size horse. Figuring a horse eats one quart of feed per 100 pounds body weight, Pecos and Texas each eat as much as two normal horses. Owned by Owens Country Sau sage of Richardson, the eight and nine year old horses are used by the company in promotional work. Dr. Romane said they are being treated for Habronemiasis, com monly called “summer sore.” It is a common skin problem where a raw area is difficult to heal due to larvae migration. The veterinary medicine and surgery professor expects the horses to be at the Large Animal Clinic for two or three weeks. Belgians are very gentle, Dr. Romane pointed out, and were bred to draw heavy loads. Although quite popular and numerous in Europe, many were killed during World Wars I and II for food. Today they are rare in Europe and the United States. Most of the U. S.-owned Bel gians are found in the Midwest, Dr. Romane reports. American soldiers will remem ber Belgians as the horses found working on harbor docks in France and Belgium during World War II, he added. “The Gift House of Originals’ 4401 Milam — Bryan LAKE VIEW CLUB 3 Miles N.
