One of the closest observers of the points
and characteristics of the horse says that q
| horses head indicates his character very
much as a mans does. Vice is shown in the
eye and mouth; intelligence in the eye and
| in the pose, in the mobile nostrils and active
ear. The Size of the eye, the thinness of the
skin, making the face bony, the large, open,
| thin-edged nostril, the fine ear and thin, fine
name and foretop, are indications of high
| breeding. and accompany hlgh-strung, ner-
| yous organization, which with good limbs
| and muscular power insures considerable
| degree of speed Ia the animal. The stupidity
| law horse that drivers call q "lunkhead'
has dull eve usually q narrow 1orenead,
and contracted poll. He is always blum
| derer, forgets himself and stumbles on smooth
| ground, gets himself and owner into dilncul-
| ties. caiks himself, is sometimes positively
lazy, but often hard goer. He needs con-
| slant care and watchfulness on the driver
| part. A buyer of equine flesh should be able
| to detect the good and bad qualities OF the
animal he contemplates purchasing. IhiS
valuable knowledge is only acquired by q
| careful study Of the various parsts OF horse
| physiognomy.
