It obliges the horseto multiply his movements and elevate the members excessively,instead of being advanced without describing too great a curvature,—aloss of both time and energy. But a very oblique arm gives a better insertion for the musclesthan a straight one, as can be demonstrated by an examination f thetwo diagrams (A and B) of Fig. 64, upon Avhich are indicated theflexors and the extensors of the humerus and the radius ; its nuisdes,however, are shorter. It is also not disadvantageous in horses fromwhich great force is exacted. The degree of brachial inclination, on the other hand, having an 218 THE EXTERIOR OF THE HORSE.
