A Tribute to the Horse 



"The glory of his nostrils is terrible." 



The horse from time immemorial has played 

 an important part in the civilization of the 

 world. 



He stands out pre-eminently the king of all 

 beasts. We feel a twinge of regret to call him 

 a beast. The proudest moments of man are 

 when he is astride his favorite steed. The glory 

 of the great generals whose armies have shaken 

 continents would soon fade and perish in the 

 imagination and romantic pride of the world 

 were it not for the magnificent poise and grace 

 of the imperishable equine reared aloft on the 

 pedestal of fame, his proud mane eclipsed only 

 by the golden braid of his master, each typical 

 of their respective majesties. 



We never cease to love his handsome form, 

 to look upon his confident stride and to wonder 

 at his strong and graceful step.
