AT PLAY.
Three little foals you see at play. They romp and sport all through the day, But sometimes they are most sedate And try to ape their mothers’ gait.
They wheel and race and leap and prance, And sometimes they are said to dance: But always they will stand and stare At anyone who passes there.

WILLINGNESS.
Although this horse is doing all he can to drag his heavy load up the hill, the lazy boy who is walking beside him, with one hand in his pocket, beats him cruelly with the stick which he carries. The boy is too silly or too careless to see how willingly the horse is working.

WILFULNESS.
A horse’s great red-letter days Are days of hunting, when his ways Are often very wilful. Here See this John Gilpin in great fear.

INTELLIGENCE.
On the prairies in the Far West of America a man lost his way. He had no water to drink, although both he and his horse were parched with thirst. Not knowing where to find water, he cast the reins on the neck of his horse. By means of that wonderful intelligence which some people wrongly call instinct, the horse found his way to a spring, although it was many miles distant. Thus both man and horse were able to quench their thirst, and in this way their lives were saved.
