He covered this laft feafon at Bennington, near Stevenage, Herts, at 2gs a Roan filly, by Mr. Phyfiognomy of the Horfe. The Editors of the Sporting Magazine feel much pleasure in prefenting their fubfcribers with the annexed reprefentation of the Phyfiognomy of the Horfe. The work from which they have taken the extract, has fufficient merit to speak for itself, and which they have no doubt will be found highly interefting to many of their readers. Haft thou given the horse ftrength? haft thou clothed his neck with thunder ? "He faith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he fmelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the fhouting." JOB. XXXIX, 19, 25. I say but little acquainted, AM but little acquainted," horfes, yet it seems to me indubitable, that there is as great a difference in the phyfiognomy of horfes as in that of men; and the horfe delerves to be particularly confidered by the phyfiognomift, because it is one of the animals whofe phyfiognomy, at leaft in profile, is fo much more prominent, sharp, and characteristic, than that of most other beasts. The horfe of all animals, is that which, to largeness of fize, unites moft proportion and ele gance in the parts of his body; for, comparing him to thofe which are immediately above or below him, we fhall perceive that the afs is ill made, the head of the lion is too large, the legs of 27 the ox too fmall, the camel is deformed, and the rhinoceros and elephant too unwieldy. There is fcarcely, any beaft has fo various, fo generally marking, fo fpeaking a countenance, as a beautiful horse. In a well-made horfe, the upper part of the neck from which the mane flows, ought to rife, at firft in a right line; and as it approaches the head, to form a curve fomewhat fimilar to the neck of the fwan. The lower part of the neck ought to be rectilinear, in its direction from the cheft to the nether jaw, but a lit tle inclined forward; for, were it perpendicular, the fhape of the neck would be defective. The upper part of the neck fhould be thin, and not fleshy; nor the mane, which ought to be tolerably full, and the hair long and ftrait. A fine neck ought to be long, and elevated; yet propor tionate to the fize of the horfe. If too long and fmall, the horse would ftrike the rider with his head; if too fhort and flefly, he would bear heavy on the hand. The head is advantageously placed when the forehead is perpendicular to the horizon. The head ought to be bony and fmall, not too long; the ears near cach other, fmall, erect, firm, straight, free, and fituated on the top of the head. The forehead fhould be narrow, and fomewhat convex, the hollows filled up, the eyelids thin, the eyes clear, penetrating, full of ardour, tolerably large, as I may fay, and projecting from the head. The pupil-large, the under jaw bony, and rather thick: the nofe fomewhat arched, the noftrils open, and well flit, the partition thin, the lips fine, the mouth tolerably large, the withers high and harp.
