In very good trim, both of them; and though neither the men nor their horses are of extraordinary size, they are handsome well-drilled fellows, and a fine set of stiff-built horses (GEDRUNGENEN PFERDEN).

The fellows sit them like pictures (REITEN WIE DIE PUPPEN); I saw them do their wheelings.

Meier has some fine recruits; in particular two;"-- nor has the Rittmeister been wanting in that respect.

"Young horses" too are coming well on, sleek of skin.

In short, all is right on the military side.
