Still more signs to look for in buying a horse

¹ WE see, moreover, that these and similar points must be carefully heeded when buying a horse:

If it willingly accepts the bridle. If it allows you to mount.

If it throws you when mounted.

If it bolts when you let it go, and whether it is soon retaken.

If it becomes sluggish or more lively under the whip.

Also from what sort of region it comes, mountainous or marshy.
