Teeth in his Head that is two above and two below in the midst of the Rows of the Gatherers and they are browner and bigger then the other The third year he changeth the Teeth next unto them and leaveth no apparent Foals Teeth before but two above and two below of each side which are all bright and small The fourth year he changeth the Teeth next unto them and leaveth no more Foals Teeth before but one of each side both above and below The fifth year his sore-most Teeth will be all changed but then he hath his Tushes on each-side compleat and the last Foals Teeth which he cast those which come up in their place will be hollow and have a little Black speck in the midst which is called the Mark in the Horses Mouth and continueth till he be past eight years old The sixth year he putteth up his new Tushes near about which you shall see growing a little of new and young Flesh at the bottom of the Tush besides the Tush will be white small short and sharp The seventh year all his Teeth will have their perfect Growth and the Mark in his Mouth will be plainly seen The eighth year all his Teeth will be full smooth and plain the black speck or mark being no more but discerned and his Tushes will be more yellow then ordinary The ninth year his foremost Teeth will be longer broader yellower and fouler then at younger years the mark gone and his Tushes will be bluntish The tenth year the inside of his upper Tushes will be no holes at all to be felt with your Fingers ends which till that Age you shall ever feel besides the Temples of his Head will begin to be crooked and hollow The eleventh year his Teeth will be exceeding long very yellow black and foul only he may then cut even and his Teeth will stand directly opposite one to another The twelfth year his Teeth will be long yellow black and foul but then his upper Teeth will hang over his nether The thirteenth year his Tushes will be worn somewhat close to his Chaps if he be a much ridden Horse otherwise they will be black foul and long like the Tushes of a Boar. His Mouth See that he does not over-hang his upper Teeth over his nether for though it be the Mark of an old Horse yet sometimes a young Horse hath that Infirmity See likewise that he is not too deep burnt of the Lampas and that his Flesh lie smooth with his Barrs for if it be too deep burnt his Hay and Provender will stick therein which will be very troublesom to the Horse His Hoofs If his Hoofs be rugged and as it were Seamed one Seam over another and many Seams if they be dry full and crusty or crumbling it is a sign of very old Age and on the contrary part a smooth moist hollow and well-sounding Hoof is a sign of young years His Tail If you take your Horse with your Finger and your Thumb by the Stern of the Tail close at the setting on by the Buttock feeling there hard and if you feel of each side of the Tail a Joynt stick out more then any other by the bigness of an Hazel-nut then you may presume the Horse is under two years old but if his Joynts be all plain and no such thing to be felt then he is above ten and it may be thirteen His Eyes If his Eyes be round full staring or starting from his Head if the Pits over them be filled smooth and even with his Temples and no wrinkles either about his Brow or under his Eyes then he is young if otherwise you see the contrary Characters it is a sign of old Age. His Skin If you take his Skin in any part of his Body between your Finger and your Thumb and pull it from his Flesh then letting it go again if it suddenly return to the place from whence it came and be smooth and plain without wrinkle then he is young and full of strength but if it stand and not return instantly to its former place then he is very old and wasted His Hair If an Horse that is of any dark Colour shall grow grissle only about his Eye-brows or underneath his Mane or any Horse of a whitish Colour shall grow Meannelled with either black or red Meannels universally over his Body then both are Signes of old Age. His Barrs Lastly if the Barrs in his Mouth be great deep and handle rough and hard then is the Horse old but if they be soft shallow and handle gently and tenderly then is he young and in good ability of Body And thus much be spoken touching the Office of the Buyer The perfect Shape of a Horse altogether First there is required that the Hoof be black smooth dry large round and hollow the Pasterns streight and upright Fet-locks short the Legs streight and flat called also Lath-legged the Knees bony lean and round the Neck long high reared and great towards the Breast the Breast large and round the Ears small sharp long and upright the Fore-head lean and large the Eyes great full and black the Brows well filled and shooting outwards the Jaws wide slender and lean the Nostrils wide and open the Mouth great the Head long and lean like to a Sheep the Mane thin and large the Withers sharp and pointed the Back short even plain and double Chined the Sides and Ribs deep large and bearing out like the Cover of a Trunk and close shut at the Huckle-bone the Belly long and great but hid under the Ribs the Flanks full yet gaunt the Rump round plain and broad with a large space betwixt the Buttocks the Thighs long and large with well-fashioned bones and those fleshy the Hams dry and streight the Trunchion small long well set on and well couched the Train long not too thick and falling to the Ground the Yard and Stones small And lastly the Horse to be well-risen before And to conclude the perfect Shape of a Horse according as a famous Horse-man hath described it is in a few words thus viz. A broad Fore-head a great Eye a lean Head thin slender lean wide Jaws a long high reared Neck reared Withers abroad deep Chest and Body upright Pasterns and narrow Hoof And this is the common allowed and approved Shape of a perfect Horse so that if any of those things be deficient in him he cannot be said to be a Horse of a perfect Shape Wherefore I conclude that if a Horse be of a good Colour well Marked and rightly Shaped and right also by Sire and Mare it will be seldom seen that he would prove ill unless his Nature be alienated and marred either in the Backing and Riding or else that he be otherwise wronged by the means of an unskilful Groom But I may in this Point be taxed to hold a Paradox which helpeth Farcins Yellows Stavers Scabs Mainges Agues Feavers Colds Surseits Glanders or any other Malady
