—powerful in breast and quarter:— •
lithe of limb awl flank: a long, small
head and cars; quick, bright eyes, and
a' very (leer to run. I trotted her
sharply down the pike, she, pulled

it sharply. I chirruped to her, broke
her up, and gave her her head. she
shot away north like a

and let her run. Soon she settled
down to a long, low regular lope that
was ease riding, and dropped the
