PECULIARITIES AND EXTREMES OF DISPOSITION. 



Dull and Treacherous. 



When the eye is 



large, et^en, full, but 



clear or dark in color, 



restless and sensitive 



in action, a flighty 



unreliable character 



will be exhibited — Is 



a free driver if a bright 



bay or sorrel, liable to 



pull hard on the bit 



as the blood becomes 



warmed by exercise 



and excitement. 

 If the eye is good, 



round and clear, scin- 

 tillating as if it were 



fire, the eyelids drawn 



down, or the eyes partly closed, a kind of listless expression 



of the head, you have the unusual but possible temper of 



the tiger or feline character, the temper of which if you 



rouse and excite, 

 above all others, will 

 be the one which 

 will almost set at 

 defiance your most 

 persevering efforts. 

 You can throw him 

 a hundred times, he 

 will lie down easily 

 but jump up prompt- 

 ly ; he will barely 

 yield to the next 

 principle of subjec- 

 tion, which is by far 

 the most simple and 

 powerful, but in de- 

 fiance of all you can 



do, when a little rested, he will perhaps kick or run 



away as recklessly and determined as ever, all the whipping 



and pounding your temper, if aroused, may cause you to 



inflict will do no good, and only make the matter worse. 

 I would here say that as soon as you discover this dispo- 



Sensitive and Flighty.
