Besides, you should have heard a practical admonition to the fair-haired son of the stranger, who lives in the land where the grass is always green the rider on the shining pampered steed, whose hue is like the raven, and whose neigh is like the scream of the eagle for battle.
A gentleman of Bristol had a greyhound which slept in the same stable, and contracted a very great intimacy with a fine hunter. When the dog was taken out, the horse neighed wistfully after him, and seemed to long for its return; he welcomed him home with a neigh; the greyhound ran up to the horse and licked him; the horse, in return, scratched the greyhound's back with his teeth.
When the greyhound accompanied his master in his walks, the horse would look over his shoulder, and neigh in a manner which plainly said, Let me go also; and when the dog returned, he was received with an unmistakable neigh of welcome. He would lick the horse's nose, and in return the horse would scratch his back with his teeth.
The stranger was not sure of the different quality of another light, appearing down a vista as the road turned, until the sorrel, making a tremendous spurt, headed for it, uttering a joyous neigh at the sight.

Dagobert, entering one of these stables, took from off a chest the portion of oats destined for his horse, and, pouring it into a winnowing basket, shook it as he approached Jovial.

Harold and Herbert gave a magic lantern exhibition, some charades were acted, and Cousin Ronald contrived to add not a little to the fun by timely efforts in his own peculiar line; the very little ones were delighted to hear their toy dogs bark, roosters crow, hens and geese cackle, ducks quack, horses neigh and donkeys bray.
And scarce had he reloaded his gun before the neigh of a young colt came from the neighbouring paddock, and Philip bounded to the fence. "He calls me, poor fellow; you shall see him feed from my hand. Run in for a piece of bread a large piece, Sidney." The boy and the animal seemed to understand each other. "I see you don't like horses," he said to Arthur.
As they came to a sharp angle in the trail, as it wound down the mountain, the two foremost horses, instead of turning, plunged over the side, and with a neigh of terror, were soon crushed, like their companion, on the rocks in the deep abyss below.
It will be in every fellow's mouth now, I suppose! 'But not anything between yourself and Mrs. Petherwin? 'A mere nothing. But surely you started, Neigh, when you suspected it just this moment? 'No you merely fancied that. 'Did she not speak well to-night! You were in the room, I believe? 'Yes, I just turned in for half-an-hour: it seems that everybody does, so I thought I must.
