CHARGER. 4T 



than the angle of forty -five degrees ; open heels ; 

 sound frog ; and a concave sole. 



CHARGER. 



Long quarter ; straight spine ; well set-on tail, 

 and not too bushy ; but, for a handsome charger, the 

 tail should be carried rather high also. 



Broad across the haunch-bones, but broader at the 

 thighs. 



Large and muscular stifle. 



Large and broad lean hock, with the bone at the 

 point long. 



Lean head ; broad forehead ; large, full, bright 

 eye ; open thin nostril ; deep mouth ; evenly-closed 

 lips ; wide jaws ; clean channel ; and small erect ears. 



Neck rather long and light ; but a fine crest, and 

 well-carried head, are indispensable. 



Withers should be high for a charger. 



Back must not be too long, or he will never pull 

 up properly on his haunches, without which he can- 

 not be a good charger. 



Long and slanting shoulder ; but it should have a 

 little more substance than the racer's, so that, with 

 high withers, added to a good girth and fine chest, 

 the saddle may keep back in its place ; for the charger 

 that does not carry his saddle well is a nuisance. 



Short arm, and legs well forward. 



Moderately broad and flat chest. 



Depth of girth not actually requisite to the same 

 extent as in the racer. A good caste Arab is never 

 very deficient in this.
