Horses; Horsemanship. OR, The Turn Out. 141 HORSEY PHRASES, SLANG TERMS, AND RACY "Be thou familiar, but by no means ; N order to render this work as acceptable to all classes of readers, and as easily under- stood as possible, all technical phraseology, cant language, slang terms, or stable ex- pressions have been studiously avoided. As, however, our readers may meet with such terms in other works, or in the periodical literature of the day, or hear them at auctions, fairs, and other public places, and may be at a loss to understand their meaning, it has been considered that an exposition of some of the more fre- quently used terms and phrases may be of service. A selec- tion of these has therefore been made by the Author from memory, and such explanations given as will enable anyone to understand their meaning, whether on the turf, in the auction room, or in the stable. Amble—A peculiar kind of pace, wherein a horse's two legs, of the same side, move at the same time. Auhin—A broken pace, between an amble and a gallop ; a defect A Mark—A ninny; to take advantage of; good impression; "made his ; A Pony of Beer—Small glass. Hqrs—The fleshy rows that run across the upper part of the horse's mouth. Bay—A bay horse is the colour commonly called a red, incHning to chesnut. This colour varies in several ways; thus— " a dark bay," or light bay. Bishoper—One skilled in horse dentistry (but not for the general weal)..
