الصفحة 17 - I was to have a bit and a bridle; my master gave me some oats as usual, and after a good deal of coaxing, he got the bit into my mouth, and the bridle fixed, but it was a nasty thing! Those who have never had a bit in their mouths cannot think how bad it feels; a great piece of cold hard steel as thick as a man's finger to be pushed into one's mouth, between one's teeth and over one's tongue, with the ends coming out at the...

الصفحة 10 - I used to nm with them, and had great fun ; we used to gallop all together round and round the field as hard as we could go.

On came the dogs; they burst over the bank, leaped the stream, and came dashing across the field followed by the huntsmen. Six or eight men leaped their horses clean over, close upon the dogs. The hare tried to get through the fence; it was too thick, and she turned sharp round to make for the road, but it was too late; the dogs were upon her...
الصفحة 230 - ... she added in a very serious voice, "we have no right to distress any of God's creatures without a very good reason; we call them dumb animals, and so they are for they cannot tell us how they feel, but they do not suffer less because they have no words. But I must not detain you now; I thank you for trying my plan with your good horse, and I am sure you will find it far better than the whip. Good day," and with another soft pat on my neck she stepped lightly across the path, and I saw her no...
الصفحة 16 - WAS now beginning to grow handsome; my coat had grown fine and soft, and was bright black. I had one white foot, and a pretty white star on my forehead. I was thought very handsome ; my master would not sell me till I was four years old ; he said lads ought not to work like men, and colts ought not to work like horses till they were quite grown up.
الصفحة 20 - Beside, there are a great many foolish men, vain, ignorant, and careless, who never trouble themselves to think ; these spoil more horses than all, just for want of sense ; they don't mean it, but they do it for all that. I hope you will fall into good hands ; but a horse never knows who may buy him, or who may drive him ; it is all a chance for us ; but still I say, do your best wherever it is, and keep up your good name.
