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.
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.
