OVER-REACH.—An over-reach is such injury (either cut or bruise) as is frequently sustained in the heel of a horse's FORE-FOOT, by one of the SHOES BEHIND; and this happens during brisk action, in either TROT or GALLOP, where the ground is unexpectedly _deep_ and deceptive: or when a horse is thick in the shoulders, and slow in action _before_, the hind-quarters are thrown in faster than the fore-legs can get out of the way, by which inactive, or sluggish tardiness, the accident is occasioned much oftener than by any other means. When neglected, or unattended to, if the injury is severe, ill consequences may ensue; the first step to prevent which is, to wash the part well with warm water, slightly impregnated with vinegar: press upon the wound a linen cloth till quite dry, then apply a pledget of _lint_ or _tow_, well wetted with FRIAR'S BALSAM, or compound TINCTURE of MYRRH, covering it securely with a proper bandage, with a view to harden the surface, which is the leading object to be attained. This may be repeated the following day, if necessary, to farther close the mouths of such lacerated vessels as continue to ooze a _lymph_ or _ichor_. If, however, the cut should be of such magnitude as to resist these means of intentional termination, it must be treated as a WOUND, and the horse not permitted to encounter WORK or _dirt_ during its progress and cure. No greasy or unctuous applications should be made, if it can possibly be done without; as the best and most expeditious cure will be made by hardening the surface, and preventing a discharge; unless there is a deep destruction of parts, in which case it cannot be obtained but by incarnation. ORMOND,—a horse of much recent racing celebrity, bred by MR. WENTWORTH in the north of England, was foaled in the year 1789; got by _King Fergus_; dam (_Miss Cornforth_) by _Matchem_; grand-dam by _Sampson_; and great grand-dam by _Regulus_. In the Craven Meeting at Newmarket, 1792, he ran second to _John Bull_ for the great produce stakes of 200 guineas each, across the flat, half forfeit, thirty-five subscribers; beating _Hotspur_, _Whiskey_, _St. Paul_, _Lucifer_, _Guildford_, and others. The same year, at YORK, he walked over for a sweepstakes of 100 guineas each, five subscribers. In 1793, at YORK, he won a sweepstakes of 100 guineas each, fourteen subscribers. In 1794, at YORK, he won a fifty pound plate, added to a subscription purse of 227_l._ 10_s._ 0_d._ four miles, beating five others. In 1795, he won, at YORK, a subscription of 25 guineas each, eight subscribers. The next day but two he won the great subscription purse, value 277_l._ 10_s._ 0_d._ beating _Chariot_, _Constant_, and _Screveton_. After which he appeared but twice on the turf, becoming a STALLION at five guineas each mare, and five shillings the groom.
