Without being nar- row, it should not be too wide for the race horse. Too wide a rump would cause a rocking which is a drawback to forward movement, by using a part of the energy. Direction. A horizontal rump gives a rapid motion, but soon wearies; an oblique rump is contrary to rapidness, but gives much strenght; strenght, resistance and speed coincide weH in a sloping rump (giving an angle of 25 to 35o with a horizontal line). The sloping rump is well for the road-and heavy-harness-horse; an oblique rump is convenient for a heavy draft horse. The ruivp must be well muscled, and particuliarly for the draught horse. We, sometimes, find a double rump (deeply gutted), when the muscles are projecting up. The tail must be the continuation of the top-line, attached as high as possible and carried high. The tail is a real dynamometer. The resistance produced whep the rail is lifted, can give information as to the muscular strenght of the animal. The hips or hook bones should be protruding, being fairly angu- lar. Too much angularity is preferable to a lack of angularity. Very angular hips^re homely, disgraceful but indicate much strenght. Very smooth hips on the contrary, indicate a lack of vigor and Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Pasquet, Joseph; Québec (Province).
