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.
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.
