Note to the Teacher.—This lesson may be made useful 
in training the powers of observation and judgment, two 
powers very differently developed in different persons. 
The purpose is to give those fundamental conceptions of 
form which apply to all horses for force or speed. Shire 
horses differ from Percheron horses, and Hackney horses 
differ from French Coach horses by virtue of certain char- 
acteristics which are not touched upon in this lesson, but 
must be considered when judging whether a horse is a 
correct representation of a certain breed.
