Dividing Horses Puzzle

#169

A rich old American had three sons. Before dying, he wrote in his will that his 17 Horses would be divided to his sons, as follows :- 
Eldest Son would get half of the Horses, 
Younger Son would get one-third of the Horses and
Youngest Son would get one-ninth of the Horses. 
After his death, the sons were unable to figure out how this can possibly be done. 
An old wise man without hesitation helped them in dividing the Horses properly. 
How did he do it?
