PLATE VIII. 



Figure 1. — Is the quarter of a horse well formed, being strong 

 and handsome, well marked with muscle and bone, and not over- 

 burthened with flesh ; but standing at too great a distance between 

 the hocks. 



Figure 2. — This figure, although rather raw in the hucks, and 

 possessing a great deal of prominent bone, is still better adapted for 

 speed and action than Figure 1 ; the hocks being nearer together, but 

 still standing straight, give him the power of quicker action, and 

 longer throws in the gallop. The mare from which this was taken 

 was a remarkably good and well-tried hunter. 



Figure 3. — A horse with such a quarter as this, may possibly 

 be useful, if quiet, to a timid lady or gentleman, who do not extend 

 their ride beyond six or eight miles in one day. If well formed in 

 other parts, he may be called a very pretty plump and showy tit ; 

 but like many other pets, will be of no use for hard work.
