Paragraph 14 F1
No person shall at any time work a horse below ground at a mine if—
it is unfit;
it is not properly shod; or
it is wearing harness which does not fit properly or is not in good condition, or is without a guard for the eyes.
In any case in which a person, other than a horse-keeper, for the time being in charge of a horse below ground at a mine has reason to believe that—
the horse is unfit, is injured, or shows any symptoms of overwork; or
the horse is not properly shod; or
the horse is wearing harness which does not fit properly or which is not in good condition, or is without a guard for the eyes; or
there is any inadequacy in the supply of food or water for the horse at or near any place where it is working; or
the horse or its harness has rubbed against the roof or sides of a road; or
any other matter has arisen affecting or likely to affect the care or treatment of the horse;
he shall forthwith report the matter to the official under whose immediate charge he works and to a horse-keeper.
