Abstract: The study aimed to determine the importance of horse and management practices employed by raisers of draft horses in Daine* Indang* Cavite. The study was conducted on 70 respondents from Decem-ber, 1978 to February,. 1979. Experience of respondents ranged from two to forty years in horse keeping. Draft types of horses were raised as a source of income. Each respondent kept one or two heads of horse and employed the natural system of breeding. Combination of hay and silage and other available fo-rages from the farm were used as feed. Salt and molasses were also provided. The herd was provided with moderate management prac-tices which include hoof trimming, shoeing, dehairing and hy-giene and sanitation. Branding is being practiced as a means of identifying animals. Lack of capital, occurence of external parasites, insufficient supply of feed, and rustlers were the common problems met by the different respondents.
