Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/23353-h/images/image-p002-full.jpg b/23353-h/images/image-p002-full.jpg Binary files differnew

OLD AGE 94 + + + + +[Illustration] + + +AT PLAY. + + + Three little foals you see at play. + They romp and sport all through the day, + But sometimes they are most sedate + And try to ape their mothers' gait. + + They wheel and race and leap and prance, + And sometimes they are said to dance: + But always they will stand and stare + At anyone who passes there. + + + + +SCHOOLING. + + + The horse, like us, must go to school + To learn by precept and by rule. + Like us, he does not love the work, + Like us, he's not allowed to shirk. + + This little instrument you see + Strapped on his back, shaped like a V, + Is a "Dumb Jockey" meant to train + The horse to bear the bit and rein. + + +[Illustration] + + + + +[Illustration] + + +CLEVERNESS. + + + Billy, the circus pony, can + Distinguish letters like a man: + He'll hold up for you in the ring + His D for Dunce and K for King. + + With P for Pony he will show + That he his family name doth know; + And he will find the C for clown + And at his feet will put it down. + + + + +WILLINGNESS. + + +Although this horse is doing all he can to drag his heavy load up the +hill, the lazy boy who is walking beside him, with one hand in his +pocket, beats him cruelly with the stick which he carries. The boy is +too silly or too careless to see how willingly the horse is working. + + +[Illustration] + + + + +[Illustration] + + +WILFULNESS. + + + A horse's great red-letter days + Are days of hunting, when his ways + Are often very wilful. Here + See this John Gilpin in great fear. + + He came out just to see the Meet, + But the horse thought he would compete + With horses, hounds and fox for place, + And led the man this madcap race. + + + + +INTELLIGENCE. + + +On the prairies in the Far West of America a man lost his way. He had no +water to drink, although both he and his horse were parched with thirst. +Not knowing where to find water, he cast the reins on the neck of his +horse. By means of that wonderful intelligence which some people wrongly +call instinct, the horse found his way to a spring, although it was many +miles distant. Thus both man and horse were able to quench their thirst, +and in this way their lives were saved. + + +[Illustration] + + + + +[Illustration] + + +KICKING. + + + These two are very much dismayed + To see the fuss their horse has made + Because this dog in playful mood + Barked in a manner rather rude. + + It is a thing some horses do + Until the driver makes them rue + Their fits of temper. Then they say + That kicking doesn't seem to pay. + + + + +GENTLENESS. + + +These big carthorses and these little children are great friends. +Although the horses are so big, they are very gentle, and allow the +carter's children to lead them home in the evening, or to ride on their +backs. + + +[Illustration] + + + + +[Illustration] + + +BITING. + + + Peggy is the children's pride, + And she allows them all to ride. + She comes to them whene'er they call, + And loves to have them in her stall. + + With others she has wilful ways. + She will be cross with John for days, + Will kick and squeal, will show much spite, + And very often try to bite. + + + + +TOILING. + + +These three horses are ploughing an upland field. They are thoroughly +enjoying themselves, for they are so strong that their work is a +pleasure to them. The ploughman is guiding the plough, so as to keep the +furrows straight. The rooks are soaring round in search of grubs found +in the earth which is turned up by the plough. + + +[Illustration] + + + + +[Illustration] + + +HUNTING. + + + What sweeter sound on winter morn + Than music of the hounds and horn? + What prettier sight could e'er be seen + Than hounds and horses on the green? + + See winding down this country way + An eager throng one winter day. + Keen are the men for sport of course, + But just as keen each hound and horse. + + + + +DUTY. + + +The troop-horse, like all soldiers, has to learn his drill till he +becomes as efficient as his rider. In war he will take his place in his +squadron should his rider have been killed or wounded. In one instance, +several guns of the Royal Horse Artillery were saved by the teams +galloping back to their lines after all the gunners and drivers had been +shot down. + + +[Illustration] + + + + +[Illustration] + + +REARING. + + + Rearing is an awkward vice, + No rider ever thinks it nice. + When the horse prances on two feet + It's difficult to keep one's seat. + + This lady riding in the Row + Is a good rider, you must know. + When on two legs her horse would soar + She quickly brings him down to four. + + + + +SAGACITY. + + +There is danger at this place which the horse can see, but which the +rider fails to detect. They are in the midst of a swamp where one false +step would mean a horrible death in the quagmire on the verge of which +the horse has pulled up. The man uses whip and spur, but the horse +refuses to move. Finally the rider leaves the horse to himself to find a +way round which brings them both to safety. + + +[Illustration] + + + + +[Illustration] + + +BOLTING. + + + See this runaway flecked with foam + Galloping fast as he can for home, + Caring nought for the shouting man + Running also as fast as he can. + + Flung by the bolter on the roadside + Small is his chance of a pleasant ride. + Two legs matched in a race with four-- + Perhaps they'll meet at the stable door. + + + + +PATIENCE. + + + The cab horse is a useful steed, + Ever handy, good at need-- + A patient uncomplaining jade, + What should we do without his aid? + + By day, by night he may be had, + Be the weather good or be it bad. + Many a knock and many a fall + He gets, and yet survives them all. + + +[Illustration] + + + + +[Illustration] + + +BUCKING. + + + When horses buck they take a bound + With all their four feet off the ground. + Unless they know just what to do + And how to keep their seats all through. + + The riders come off fast and thick + When horses start this Yankee trick. + But with the cowboys of the West + The horses come off second best. + + + + +PERSEVERANCE. + + +The horse affords the best example amongst animals of perseverance: he +will go on until he falls exhausted or dead. On the Yorkshire moors, +after a heavy fall of snow, the roads are quite lost, and it often +happens that the mailman has to unharness his horse (the cart being +blocked by the snow), and trust to the horse's courage and endurance to +carry the mails from village to village. It has been known that the +driver has been overcome by the intense cold, when the horse has found +his way unaided to the nearest accustomed stopping place. + + +[Illustration] + + + + +[Illustration] + + +JIBBING. + + + Of all the tiresome steeds that are + The jibber is the worst by far. + He stands and contemplates the scene-- + An act embarrassing and mean. + + And nine times out of ten he chooses + An awkward spot when he refuses + To move. To cure him, take him out + And turn the jibber round about. + + + + +SERVICE. + + + The Bus horse does not work all day, + For if he did he'd waste away. + He does his work and then is able + To take a long rest in the stable. + + When summer suns beat down upon it + His head is sheltered by a bonnet; + And though it makes him look a duffer, + He hasn't half the heat to suffer. + + +[Illustration] + + + + +[Illustration] + + +SHYING. + + + "A wicked horse," perhaps you say, + "To shy in such a sudden way, + And almost make his rider fall. + It is not nice of him at all." + + It was not wickedness, but fear. + That dreadful white thing rushing near + Appeared to his affrighted eyes + Full seven times its proper size. + + + + +CURIOSITY. + + + All horses very curious are + And things which they espy afar + Arouse their curiosity: + They wonder what on earth they see. + + With ears pricked up and cautious mien + They come to see. When they have seen, + They snort and turn and off they scurry + In a contemptuous desperate hurry. + + +[Illustration] + + + + +[Illustration] + + +FRIENDSHIP. + + +A beautiful racehorse became very much attached to a cat. So much so +that he was never happy unless the cat was near him, either sleeping +curled up on his back or somewhere in his stall. They became such close +companions that when the horse was taken abroad to run in some races for +which he had been entered, he became so dejected at being separated from +his companion that it was found necessary that the cat should always +accompany him in his horse-box wherever he went. + + + + +OLD AGE. + + + This horse's working days are o'er. + The shafts and saddle nevermore + Shall hold him. Here he waits his end + Cared for by those who love to tend + + An old companion. He may rest + In his loose box or take the best + Of grazing which the meadows give-- + A pensioner while he shall live. + + +[Illustration] + + + + +Transcriber's Note + + +The following correction was made: + +Page Correction +67 seats all through changed to seats all through. + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of A Horse Book, by Mary Tourtel + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK A HORSE BOOK *** + +***** This file should be named 23353.txt or 23353.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/2/3/3/5/23353/ + +Produced by Julia Miller and the Online Distributed +Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net (This file was +produced from images generously made available by The +Internet Archive/American Libraries.) + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/23353.zip b/23353.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..5b3e39b --- /dev/null +++ b/23353.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
