PLATE VI. 



Figure 1. — I introduce this subject for the beauty of its neck and 

 setting of the fore-leg, both of which are remarkably good. The 

 shoulder is well formed, but not sufficient in depth ; the arm, or upper 

 part of the thigh, should be set well forward, the elbow turned out, 

 and free from the brisket. A horse possessed of those points will 

 seldom fail of having good action. 



Figure 2. — The front view of the breast formed for strength, 

 beauty, and action. Compare with Figure 4. 



Figure 3. — The neck and shoulders badly formed, the neck being 

 of an equal breadth and substance, heavy and thick in the shoulder ; 

 broad on the blade, fore-legs standing too far under the body ; the 

 breast and point of the shoulder heavy, without any mark of muscle. 

 See Figure 1. 



Figure 4. —Is the front view of a breast -with many bad points ; 

 sound and heavy in chest, tucked up in the brisket, and legs badly 

 set on. Compare with Figure 2.
