. Elements of hippology ... Horses. Figure 37.—The Ill-Bred Horse, Figure 38.—The Ill-Bred Horse, Full Face. Profile. The eyes should be full, clear and bright, and symmetrically placed. They should not be watery; the pupils should be black and of equal size. The lids should be thin and firm. The eye, to inspire full confidence in the horse, should be large, prom- inent—to secure a large field of vision—and kindly in expression. The eye is a sphere, con- taining two chambers (Fig- ure 39): one, the anterior, is filled with aqueous hu- mor ; the other, many times larger, with vitreous hu- mor.
