HORSEMANSHIP. 



At six years old the profile of the mouth exhibits the 

 teeth in a firm and upright position, which is gradually 

 lost as the animal increases in age. 



SEVEN YEARS OLD. 

 At seven years old the " mark " in the two lateral 

 teeth is also extinct, or 

 very nearly so, and the 

 outer nippers are much 

 worn, but show the 

 mark clear and dis- 

 tinct. The tusks are 

 becoming more round- 

 ed at the edges and at 

 the points, and are less 

 grooved on their insides.
