I know not how to utter what impression you give me; take the above as some stamping of the fore-hoof." A curious way of characterizing himself as a critic, but he was not always as well-mannered as the Houyhnhnms.
They had drooping hind-quarters like the giraffe, though in a much less degree, shoulders greatly elevated, and long narrow heads. For the rest their forms were bony and angular. Each stood five feet high, from the fore-hoof to the shoulder, and full nine feet in length. They were antelopes of course that species known among Cape colonists as the "hartebeest."
"There's no mark of the right fore-hoof," he whispered again presently; "nothing but that," pointing to another dark red blotch, which the boys would have mistaken for maroon-tinted moss. A breathless, wordless, toiling hour followed.

His body was still quivering, and every nerve was keenly alert. Occasionally his right fore-hoof struck the rock, indicating his impatience to be away. The slightest sound startled him, for he could not easily forget his encounter with the bear. "Steady, laddie," Glen soothed, when he became more restless than usual.

It was ten o'clock. It was May. We were all stowed away in the Bishop's trap with his son, Harry, controlling the fat pony, whose small fore-hoof pawed impatiently on the asphalt.
He then put his fore-hoof to his mouth, at which I was much surprised, although he did it with ease, and with a motion that appeared perfectly natural, and made other signs, to know what I would eat; but I could not return him such an answer as he was able to apprehend; and if he had understood me, I did not see how it was possible to contrive any way for finding myself nourishment.

When first observed by Von Bloom, they were quietly browsing upon the plain.
The horse got tired leaning on one leg, I guess, for he shifted his position, and, in bringing down his left hind leg, he just pinned the little cocker's foot to the ground with his big hoof. Cocker yelled. Worst row I ever heard until I came into this room. But what do you suppose Mr. Horse did? Just lifted gently his left fore-hoof, but the squealing did not stop.
