because_o all_o people_n know_v it_o without_o be_v tell_v it_o but_o i_o mention_v it_o to_o the_o end_n you_o may_v know_v that_o if_o your_o horse_n stand_v in_o need_n of_o a_o saddle_n considerable_o large_a and_o wide_a turn_v in_o the_o bow_n than_o ordinary_a that_o then_o without_o doubt_n he_o be_v large_a in_o the_o shoulder_n than_o he_o ought_v and_o consequent_o charge_v

the_o shoulder_n be_v large_a and_o ugly_a which_o be_v a_o imperfection_n to_o which_o the_o horse_n breed_v in_o france_n be_v most_o common_o subject_a because_o for_o barb_n and_o spanish_a

to_o be_v know_v and_o therefore_o to_o prevent_v repetition_n shall_v recomend_v you_o to_o it_o in_o rake_v or_o walk_v a_o horse_n you_o be_v to_o consider_v if_o his_o shoulder_n be_v very_o

the_o extraordinary_a weight_n of_o those_o two_o part_n be_v always_o support_v by_o his_o fore_a leg_n whether_o in_o travel_n or_o at_o rest_n will_v cause_v they_o to_o be_v soon_o ruin_v and_o

towards_o the_o end_n in_o fine_a i_o think_v it_o be_v a_o part_n not_o to_o be_v neglect_v and_o that_o a_o man_n shall_v make_v it_o his_o business_n to_o know_v when_o a_o horse_n shoulder_n be_v

after_o you_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o horse_n flank_n be_v right_a and_o sound_a you_o be_v to_o observe_v if_o he_o be_v not_o a_o wheezer_n or_o blower_n which_o be_v quite_o different_a from_o

horse_n shall_v have_v it_o again_o trot_n or_o gallop_v he_o a_o little_a and_o you_o will_v perceive_v he_o to_o blow_v furious_o and_o as_o if_o he_o be_v go_v to_o burst_v immediate_o stop_v he_o and_o you_o will_v see_v his_o flank_n beat_v or_o move_v natural_o so_o that_o one_o will_v not_o imagine_v it_o be_v the_o flank_n of_o that_o horse_n he_o but_o just_a now_o observe_v wheeze_v

imperfection_n do_v proceed_v from_o lack_n of_o wind_n their_o flank_n will_v be_v agitate_a and_o that_o most_o violent_o after_o exercise_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o for_o they_o have_v their_o

wheeze_v and_o blow_v at_o such_o a_o rate_n and_o with_o such_o violence_n that_o they_o last_v not_o so_o long_o as_o other_o horse_n do_v for_o one_o will_v think_v they_o be_v go_v to_o crevie_n and_o burst_v upon_o the_o very_a spot_n and_o this_o excessive_a blow_n do_v also_o surprise_v and_o even_o displease_v the_o generality_n of_o people_n who_o for_o the_o most_o part_n take_v they_o to_o be_v pursy_a now_o this_o wheeze_a and_o blow_v imperfection_n do_v not_o proceed_v from_o any_o defect_n in_o the_o lung_n or_o those_o part_n which_o depend_v upon_o they_o but_o from_o the_o

some_o of_o these_o kind_n of_o horse_n which_o serve_v but_o then_o their_o price_n shall_v be_v moderate_a if_o a_o man_n be_v to_o buy_v they_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v
