An epidemic of glanders also occurred at Bombay, and a number of
animals died or were destroyed there.
In 1905, in consequence of the misfortunes of the previous year,
shipments were not large ; but the horses sent found a good market at
Bombay, in consequence, it is believed, of the visit of His Royal
Highness the Prince of Wales to India.
In 1906 there was again a considerable decrease in the horses
exported; it was attributed to the competition of Australian horses in
the Indian market.
