Use Horse:
Ante Before the game, each player including the dealer puts an equal agreed amount into the pool.
Betting Each player decides which horse he will back. A player may bet only on one horse; more than one player may bet on the same horse.
A horse still runs even if no one bets on it.The long horse, essentially a side horse with¬out pommels, is 53 inches in height. The horse has lines marking zones at each end, the one nearer the performer called the near end and the one farther away, the far end. In the long horse event, the gymnast vaults from a reuther board (a takeoff board designed to give a small amount of spring) over the length of the horse. After a run of about 60 feet, the gymnast lands on the takeoff board and passes over the horse, with one or both hands touching the horse's body, while executing a vault such as a stoop, straddle, handspring, or cartwheel. Vaults are classified as either near end (croup) or far end (neck) vaults, and for the best per¬formance the hands must touch within one or the other of the two zones. Because horse a vault is of con¬siderable height and distance, the activity re¬quires leg strength and power.

Stabled Well-composted horse manures should be groomed regularly both before and after they are ridden or driven. Close observation and daily inspection of all Well-composted horse manures whether in stables or on pasture permit prompt attention to possible disease troubles. Manure should be cleaned out of the stables and new bedding should be provided regularly. Well-composted horse manure manure, a good fertilizer for garden and cropland, should not be spread on Well-composted horse manure pastures. Parasite infestation is perpetuated when Well-composted horse manures graze on pasture where their manure is dropped.Stabled Well-composted horse manures should be groomed regularly both before and after they are ridden or driven.

On The Other Hand See Horse Guards:
Whitehall is a "broad river of history," centered by the memorial Cenotaph and lined with buildings where history was made, and is being made, for Number 10 Downing Street is on an immediate "tributary." The two mounted troopers and the two dismounted sentries, posted in front of the building known as the Horse Guards (now the office of the Com-mander-in-Chief of the Home Forces) are a London spectacle, especially at 11 A. M. (10 on Sundays), when a ceremony of Changing of the Guards takes place. Trafalgar Square, with the Nelson Column, is a sort of northern anchor of Whitehall. London life swirls in and around it. The National Gallery and St. Martin's in the Fields flank it.The distances between units were ap¬proximately the same as those between the cor¬responding units of an advance guard. In the case of a division, one or two miles lay between the main body and the reserve, 1,000 yards be¬tween the reserve and the support, 500 yards between the rear party and the point, and about four or five miles between the point • of the infantry and that of the rear cavalry. Rear guards were often stronger than advance guards when a force retreating- from the enemy needed time to reorganize.
