PLATE II. 



Fig Ure i. — Is the expression of rage, with a great deal of vice. 

 This passion will always be conspicuous in the countenance of the 

 horse possessed of these bad qualities ; but not to the extent shown 

 in the Plate, unless provoked. Horses of this disposition, by having 

 even a finger or stick pointed at them, will give full force to this 

 character. Many are taught this vice ; but whether inherent in the 

 disposition, or acquired, the animals which possess it are still very 

 dangerous. 



Fiqure 2. — This character of countenance, from repeated in- 

 stances that I have met with, I consider to possess more malicious 

 vice than Figure 1. The horse from which this character was taken, 

 although a good worker when once in harness, is one of the most 

 ferocious animals of the tribe denominated tame. 



Figure 3. — The character of terror, which is the prominent 

 mark of this head, is by some classed among the vices of this animal. 

 If it be not a vice, however, it is one of the most troublesome faults, 

 incident to the horse ; for it embraces all the consequences of all the 

 vices which he can possess ; a terrified horse being more to be 

 dreaded than one actually vicious. 



Figure 4. — Represents a horse of a sulky character, as is con- 

 spicuously shown in the countenance; an animal of this type, 

 although in some cases rather to be dreaded than otherwise, is 

 sometimes very good at work. The obstinacy of this character, 

 however, not unfrequently turns to restiveness. It is a subject 

 which may be useful, but never can be pleasant.
