A BC OF THE HORSE 67 



*' When the horse arrives at six 

 years the corner teeth show wear, 

 confined to their front edge, absent 

 in a horse at five years. 



" Seven and eight years afford the 

 cheating horse - dealer the greatest 

 delight. 



" To many of these gentlemen all 

 the horses they have for disposal are 

 either seven or eight, and in one 

 instance we remember examining the 

 teeth of a pony, said to be seven, yet 

 it proved to be thirty years old at least. 



" At seven years the ' Mark ' is 

 elongated, and it is very near the 

 hinder edge.
