Excerpt from The Illustrated Horse Management: Containing Descriptive Remarks Upon Anatomy, Medicine, Shoeing, Teeth, Food, Vices, Stables The horse, in Britain, generally occupies the same house as the groom; but it is not, therefore, regarded with the feeling which is indulged by the inhabitant of the tent. The change from the soil of its birth to the English stable is attended with a total alteration of circumstances. Cold ness or brutality, however, cannot banish the spirit which benevolence had fostered. The rebellion provoked by harsh ness is only more complete. The quietude of content is replaced by the wildness of timidity. Confidence is 'de stroyed; fear assumes the likeness of savagery. The horse becomes a brute; for ignorance will not believe its inferior can be actuated by a reasonable motive.
