Q.Will they carry as well as draw?
A.
Yes, they will carry a lady or gentleman on their backs, a sack of corn, or paniers, or even little children, but they must not hit them hard, if they do, they will fall off their backs; besides, it is very cruel to beat them.

Q.What is the difference between carrying and drawing?
A.To carry is when they have the whole weight on their backs, but to draw is when they pull any thing along.

Q.Is there any difference between those horses that carry, and those horses that draw?
A.Yes; the horses that draw carts, drays, coal-waggons, stage waggons, and other heavy things, are stouter and much larger, and stronger than those that carry on the saddle, and are called draught horses.

Q.Where do the draught horses come from?
A.The largest comes from Leicestershire, and some come from Suffolk, which are very strong, and are called Suffolk punches.

Q.Where do the best saddle-horses come from?
A.They came at first from Arabia, the place in which the camel is so useful; but now it is considered that those are as good which are bred in England?
Q.What do they call a horse when he is young?
A.A foal, or a young colt.
