30 THE EARS. 



THE EABS. 



Those who are acquainted with the nature of 

 the horse -psij much attention to the size and 

 motion of the ear. Ears rather small than large, 

 placed not too far apart, erect and quick in mo- 

 tion, indicate hoth breeding and spirit, If a 

 horse is frequently in the habit of carrying one 

 ear forward and the other backward, and especi- 

 ally when on a journey, he generally possesses 

 both spirit and continuance; and if attentive to 

 what is taking place about him, he cannot be 

 'much fatigued or likely soon to become so.
