The many excellent qualities of the horse 

 are accompanied by some defects, which 

 occasionally amount to vices. These may in 

 ^p part be attributed to natural temper ; for man 

 himself scarcely presents more peculiarities of temper and dis- 

 position than does the horse. The mnjority of these disagree- 

 able or dangerous habits in the animal now under consideration 

 are without doubt attributable to a faulty education. The in- 

 structor was ignorant and brutal, and the animal instructed 

 becomes obstinate and vicious. It is proposed to mention 

 Bome of the more glaring of these vices, suggesting in connec- 

 tion wdth each whatever remedies or palliatives experience has 

 suggested.
