To contribute that uniformity, the head and 

 ears fhould both be fmall and fhort, with a 

 large full eye and open extended noftril; a 

 long well proportioned neck, rifing gradually 

 upon the withers, forming what is generally 

 termed " a fine forehand,'' haying great depth 

 from thence to the point of the breaft, which 

 being wide, affords ample proof of y?r£';7^//&, as 

 does the neceffary declination of the fhoulder 

 (or blade-bone) to the point of the withers 

 another oi Jpeed* This combination forms a 

 well made horfe before, which is continued to 

 the remaining parts of the frame, by the back's 

 being fhort and even, not Jinking at all in the 

 loins, or rifmg higher behindy upon what is 

 termed " the crupper -bone \ the carcafe fliould 

 be round, and well ribbed up to the hip-bones, 

 (forming as trifling a hollownefs or concavity 

 in the flank as poflible) thefe being by no 

 means pointedly prominent. The legs fliould 

 not be too long for the height of the horfe, but 

 fhort in the joints, and particularly fo upon 

 the paflerns.
