SUPERIORITY OF THE ARAB HORSE. 
33 
Arab horse standing with one foot forward ; there was 
nothing to be seen till the rider passed his hand down the 
back sinew, when he opened the lips of a large gash exactly 
as if a razor had been passed across the horse's leg. A boar 
never appears to lose his head, but always has his wits about 
htm, and when he has made up his mind to charge, nothing 
will stop him. 
There are some horses which will never close with a 
boar, they will race with the other horses, but just as the 
rider thinks he is going to win the first spear, they sheer off 
and nothing will induce them to approach the boar again. 
The Arab horses are the best as a rule, as they thoroughly 
enjoy the sport and become almost as excited as their riders, 
I had an Arab that would twist and turn after a wild boar 
like a greyhound after a hare. A shying horse out hog- 
hunting is enough to try the patience of Job.
