About
a
week
after
this
Robert
came
into
the
field
with
a
halter
,
which
he
slipped
over
my
head
,
and
led
me
away
.
There
was
no
leave
-
taking
of
Ginger
;
we
neighed
to
each
other
as
I
was
led
off
,
and
she
trotted
anxiously
along
by
the
hedge
,
calling
to
me
as
long
as
she
could
hear
the
sound
of
my
feet
.
Through
the
recommendation
of
York
,
I
was
bought
by
the
master
of
the
livery
stables
.
I
had
to
go
by
train
,
which
was
new
to
me
,
and
required
a
good
deal
of
courage
the
first
time
;
but
as
I
found
the
puffing
,
rushing
,
whistling
,
and
,
more
than
all
,
the
trembling
of
the
horse
-
box
in
which
I
stood
did
me
no
real
harm
,
I
soon
took
it
quietly
.
When
I
reached
the
end
of
my
journey
I
found
myself
in
a
tolerably
comfortable
stable
,
and
well
attended
to
.
These
stables
were
not
so
airy
and
pleasant
as
those
I
had
been
used
to
.
The
stalls
were
laid
on
a
slope
instead
of
being
level
,
and
as
my
head
was
kept
tied
to
the
manger
,
I
was
obliged
always
to
stand
on
the
slope
,
which
was
very
fatiguing
.
Men
do
not
seem
to
know
yet
that
horses
can
do
more
work
if
they
can
stand
comfortably
and
can
turn
about
;
however
,
I
was
well
fed
and
well
cleaned
,
and
,
on
the
whole
,
I
think
our
master
took
as
much
care
of
us
as
he
could
.
He
kept
a
good
many
horses
and
carriages
of
different
kinds
for
hire
.
Sometimes
his
own
men
drove
them
;
at
others
,
the
horse
and
chaise
were
let
to
gentlemen
or
ladies
who
drove
themselves
.
Hitherto
I
had
always
been
driven
by
people
who
at
least
knew
how
to
drive
;
but
in
this
place
I
was
to
get
my
experience
of
all
the
different
kinds
of
bad
and
ignorant
driving
to
which
we
horses
are
subjected
;
for
I
was
a
“
job
horse
”
,
and
was
let
out
to
all
sorts
of
people
who
wished
to
hire
me
;
and
as
I
was
good
-
tempered
and
gentle
,
I
think
I
was
oftener
let
out
to
the
ignorant
drivers
than
some
of
the
other
horses
,
because
I
could
be
depended
upon
.
It
would
take
a
long
time
to
tell
of
all
the
different
styles
in
which
I
was
driven
,
but
I
will
mention
a
few
of
them
.
First
,
there
were
the
tight
-
rein
drivers
—
men
who
seemed
to
think
that
all
depended
on
holding
the
reins
as
hard
as
they
could
,
never
relaxing
the
pull
on
the
horse
’
s
mouth
,
or
giving
him
the
least
liberty
of
movement
.
They
are
always
talking
about
“
keeping
the
horse
well
in
hand
”
,
and
“
holding
a
horse
up
”
,
just
as
if
a
horse
was
not
made
to
hold
himself
up
.
Some
poor
,
broken
-
down
horses
,
whose
mouths
have
been
made
hard
and
insensible
by
just
such
drivers
as
these
,
may
,
perhaps
,
find
some
support
in
it
;
but
for
a
horse
who
can
depend
upon
his
own
legs
,
and
who
has
a
tender
mouth
and
is
easily
guided
,
it
is
not
only
tormenting
,
but
it
is
stupid
.
Then
there
are
the
loose
-
rein
drivers
,
who
let
the
reins
lie
easily
on
our
backs
,
and
their
own
hand
rest
lazily
on
their
knees
.
Of
course
,
such
gentlemen
have
no
control
over
a
horse
,
if
anything
happens
suddenly
.
If
a
horse
shies
,
or
starts
,
or
stumbles
,
they
are
nowhere
,
and
cannot
help
the
horse
or
themselves
till
the
mischief
is
done
.
Of
course
,
for
myself
I
had
no
objection
to
it
,
as
I
was
not
in
the
habit
either
of
starting
or
stumbling
,
and
had
only
been
used
to
depend
on
my
driver
for
guidance
and
encouragement
.
Still
,
one
likes
to
feel
the
rein
a
little
in
going
downhill
,
and
likes
to
know
that
one
’
s
driver
is
not
gone
to
sleep
.
Besides
,
a
slovenly
way
of
driving
gets
a
horse
into
bad
and
often
lazy
habits
,
and
when
he
changes
hands
he
has
to
be
whipped
out
of
them
with
more
or
less
pain
and
trouble
.
Squire
Gordon
always
kept
us
to
our
best
paces
and
our
best
manners
.
He
said
that
spoiling
a
horse
and
letting
him
get
into
bad
habits
was
just
as
cruel
as
spoiling
a
child
,
and
both
had
to
suffer
for
it
afterward
.
Besides
,
these
drivers
are
often
careless
altogether
,
and
will
attend
to
anything
else
more
than
their
horses
.
I
went
out
in
the
phaeton
one
day
with
one
of
them
;
he
had
a
lady
and
two
children
behind
.
He
flopped
the
reins
about
as
we
started
,
and
of
course
gave
me
several
unmeaning
cuts
with
the
whip
,
though
I
was
fairly
off
.
There
had
been
a
good
deal
of
road
-
mending
going
on
,
and
even
where
the
stones
were
not
freshly
laid
down
there
were
a
great
many
loose
ones
about
.
My
driver
was
laughing
and
joking
with
the
lady
and
the
children
,
and
talking
about
the
country
to
the
right
and
the
left
;
but
he
never
thought
it
worth
while
to
keep
an
eye
on
his
horse
or
to
drive
on
the
smoothest
parts
of
the
road
;
and
so
it
easily
happened
that
I
got
a
stone
in
one
of
my
fore
feet
.
