Horses. ADMINISTERING PHYSIC greatest characteristics, the liberty and freedom of the horses which are expected to go fast or to create a sensation by the way they bend their knees and hocks being quite different from the cramped, /.<?., restrained action of the utiHty class of animal. Excessive speed or dazzling action are neither necessary nor desirable in horses which are required for work, as in the former case they are liable to cause accidents by moving too fast on the roads, and in the latter the feet and legs are certain to suffer from the effects of concussion.
