but few Horfes with this Mark, neither were they 

 much worth. 



The two Hind-feet white is a good Mark,efpecial« 

 ly if he have a Star or Blaze in his Forehead, 



The two Fore-feet, and one Hind-foot white, 13 

 fomewhat better than the two Fore- feet alone. 



Four white Feet (hews good nature, but are com- 

 monly riot very ftf ong ; and their Forefeet will 

 incline to be brittle becaufe. of the whitenefs of the 

 Horn. 



Two Feet of a fide white is a bad Mark, and fo 

 it is when a Horfe is Crofs- white- footed \ altho' 

 fome People look upon it as a good Mark to have 

 the far Fore- foot and near Hind- foot white,efpecial- 

 ly if he have a Star with it. 



Er mined white Feet are thofe which are freckled 

 with little black Spots round the Coronets : An ex- 

 cellent Mark. 



The higher the White afcends upon a Horfe's 

 Legs, he is fo much the worfe. But after all, the 

 Judgment drawn from Colours and Marks is accord- 

 ing to Men's Fancies, there being good and bad of 

 all Colours, as well as of all Marks. 



A Feather is nothing elfe but a turning of the Hair* 

 refemblingin fome an Ear of Barly, and a kind of 

 Oilet-hoie in others. When it reacheth a good way 

 along the upper part of the Neck, near to the Mane, 

 it is a good Mark, and if it be on each fide the 

 Keck, the Mark is the better. So likewife if there 

 be in the Forehead two or three of thefe Oilets fe- 

 parate from each other, or fo joined that they form 

 a kind of Feather. Or if the like Mark be upon 

 the ply of a Horfe's Hind-Thigh, and upon the 

 back part of it near to where the end of his Dock 

 or Rump reacheth, it is a very good Mark. 



It is faid of Horfes which have white Faces or 

 Blazes, th3t if the Blaze be divided in the middle, 

 croft-ways, the Hovfe will be of an odd difpofition*
