 The picture tells you noth- ing except in a general way. What you want to know. as a prospective pur- chaser, is in a particular way. You want to know whether the horse is sound of limb and body; how old, sturdy and active it is, and something definite as to it's spirit. The picture.tells you none of these things. You can learn them only by in specting the horse closely and seeing it in action.
