PLATE III. 



These heads are taken from good horses for their separate uses. 



Figure 1 . — Is as good a hackney as ever was mounted for work, 

 but by no means pleasant in temper or manner of carriage. It is 

 very seldom that a vicious or restive horse can ride light or playful in 

 hand. I have proved this kind of animal to be exceedingly useful 

 for long and hard journeys, but one that entails a large amount of 

 fatigue on the rider. 



Figure 2. — This character is good in every respect, beautiful in 

 its shape and action, extremely light and pleasant to ride, and 

 although rather playful, perfectly gentle. 



Figure 3. — I introduce this head, considering it one of the 

 handsomest I ever saw, and have endeavoured with my pencil to 

 embody the most perfect expression of beauty and spirit. 



Figure 4. — Is a common-place head and neck. Although the 

 animal from which this is drawn is a very good slow horse, it is twenty 

 to one, with such a form, against his being good for anything but a 

 cart. The head is well shaped by itself, but heavy and badly con- 

 nected, and such a horse could never either be riden or driven 

 pleasantly.
