Here you've got to peg and peg and peg and there just ain't any let-up and what you learn here, you've got to KNOW, dontchuknow or else you'll have one of these spavined, spectacles, ring-boned, knock-kneed old professors in your hair. I've been here long ENOUGH, and I'm getting blessed tired of it, mind I TELL you.
Their indomitable courage and faith, Martin's physical strength and the pulling power of their two ring-boned horses this was their capital. It seemed pitifully meager to Wade at that despondent moment, exhausted as he was by the long, hard journey and the sultry heat. Never had he been so taunted by a sense of failure, so torn by the haunting knowledge that he must soon leave his family.
They killed a spavined old plug and left him. Two weeks from that time the late unlamented galloped into a camp of the Wichitas on the back of a lop-eared, bob-tailed, sheep-necked, ring-boned horse, with ribs like a grate, and said he wanted his dinner.

Mars Lennox is done turned a double summersett, and lit plum over on t'other side! It's about ekal to a spavinned, ring-boned, hamstrung, hobbled horse clearin' a ten-rail fence! He jumps so beautiful, I am afeered he won't stay whar he lit!"

Yu slab-sided, ring-boned, saddle-galled shade of a coyote, do yu think I'm only meanderin' in th' misty vales of-of " Suggestions intruded from various sources. "Hades?" offered Hopalong.

Jim raged on, "I'll be cawn-demmed if I'll stand it. I don't Ike don't want them spavined old crows; they're all ring-boned and got the heaves." His long repressed ill-nature broke out. "Toh, toh!" said the Deacon, "Don't kick over the traces now. We'll fix it up some way."
"For the raison that ye are going to pick out this animal for me," he added, "how do I know but what ye'll pick out some ring-boned, spavined critter that trots sideways, and is blind in both eyes?"
