"Of all colours presented by the horse, none is so rich and
at the same time, so elegant and chaste, as a bright bay; provided the mane,
tail and lower parts of the legs be black. A small white star on the forehead,
and a white speck on one of the heels, are to be considered rather as beauties
than defects: but much white either on the face or legs … is quite the reverse
of desirable."
Ha! I'm finally fashionable.
Only two hundred years or so too late, of course.
Hi, Sharon - popped over and had to comment on this one as I read this same quote someplace recently and though how cool! I'm in fashion with the Big Handsome Bay! :)
ReplyDeleteMax reminds me of him quite a lot - very handsome fellows indeed. :)
