The cost of the Fodder consumed during the year
was £3,878 10s. 10d., which as shewn above amounted to
about 14s. 7½d.per horse per week.
The vestry stud and plant were supplemented, when necessary, by hired horses, carts, &c., the cost of such being :—
| £ | s. | d. | |
|---|---|---|---|
| General | 887 | 19 | 8 |
| Dusting | 547 | 3 | 9 |
| £1,435 | 3 | 5 |
Two horses died during the year, and 9 others were
sold, being considered unfitted to be continued for Vestry
work. This represents about 11 per cent. of the stud,
which averaged throughout the year 102.
Total No. of Horses in stock at Lady-day,
1892 94
Purchased during the year ending Ladyday,
1893. 30
124
Horses died and sold during the year, ending
Lady-day, 1893 11
Total number of Stud at Lady-day, 1893 113
As observed in last year's report the stud was very
low and continued so the greater part of the year as is
shewn by the fact that the average number per week has
been no more than last year, viz.:—102. Hence the need
has been for additional hiring.
