travellers. The horses are never hurt by any 
servile employ; never injured by heavy bur-

Every horse in Arabia (except those which 
by way of contempt are called Guidich, or pack 
horses) has a degree of good qualities superior 
to those of any other place; yet it is not to be 
supposed, but that there are certain parts of 
that country, which have attained a higher perfec- 
tion in the art of management than the others. 
Thus we find by some late information,* that 
Yemen in Arabia Felix is at present in great 
repute for its breed; for the joekies of that 
part have acquired such a superior name, as to 
be able to sell their three year old horses for 
two or three hundred guineas a-piece, and when 
they can be prevailed on to part with a favorite 
stallion, they will not take less for it than fifteen 
hundred guineas. It is from this country that 
the great men in Jndiaare supplied with horses, 
for India itself is possessed of a very bad kind ; 
these noble animals being much neglected there, 
from the constant use of the Buffalo, not only 
in tillage, but even in riding.
