714 THE MORGAN HORSE 



rich chestnut; fine, short coat, soft and glossy at all seasons of the year; fine 

 head, face a little dishing, wide between eyes ; very full, intelligent 

 eye ; small, fine ear ; short neck, wide, deep breast ; short legs, very 

 wide and flat, with muscles very large for a horse of his size and 

 this superabundance of muscle made him appear when he was moving 

 much larger than he really was. He had a very short back, oblique shoulder 

 blades and very long hip. He would always find a good place for his feet, 

 no matter how rough the ground, without stumbling ; he had the rare faculty 

 of picking every wheel off the ground the first move. I never saw the horse 

 that could pass him on the road when I would let him go, and I never failed 

 to pass one when I wanted to ".
