114 THE LORSE. 
THE SUFFOLK CART-HORSE. 
IN THE LATTER PaRT of the eighteenth century the agriculturists of 
Norfolk and Suffolk were far more enterprising than their brethren 
throughout the remainder of England. Among other subjects to which 
they paid special attention was the cart-horse, which, though said by Mr. 
Culley to be a plain horse, was far more level and symmetrical than the 
aboriginal horse of the country. The Suffokk horses of the early part of 
the present century were thus described by the above observer :—“ Their 
merit probably consists more in constitutional hardiness than fine shape, 
being in general a very plain horse. Their colour is mostly yellowish, 
or sorrel, with a white ratch or blaze on their faces. The head large, ears 
wide, muzzle coarse, fore-end low, back long, but very straight sides flat,
