+
+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.

+collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or

+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by

+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

+Section 4. 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.
