Note 33 — Chapter II · HORSES AND ASSES.
Reading edition
Some details are given in ‘The Farrier,’ 1828, pp. 452, 455. One of the smallest ponies I ever saw, of the colour of a mouse, had a conspicuous spinal stripe. A small Indian chestnut pony had the same stripe, as had a remarkably heavy chestnut cart-horse. Race-horses often have the spinal stripe.
