Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Brown Mare: And Other Studies of England Under the Cloud He used to bring her home when he came on his winter´s leave in the years before the War, to hunt with the South Down: for she was an unusually fine performer across country. And it was there I met her. A tall upstanding creature, sixteen hands and over, very high at the withers, not quite clean-bred and yet showing breeding in every line. She did not really carry bone enough for the heavy Wealden clay, in which your horse sinks up to his hocks at every stride; but the Major was clearly always pleased when the big iron-gray Granite had strained a sinew and he could fall back on the mare for an extra day. And little sturdy Humbleton, the very British groom, with the blue eyes, the chestnut hair, and stolid way, was just the same. When exercising, he always rode the mare for preference and led the gray. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
