un-docked

Updated: June 23, 2025

Then as to his golden, un-docked tail: he carries it well a fact which adds twenty pounds to his value; but, strange to say, it is not "well set on," as a thoroughbred's ought to be. He does not show the quality he ought in his hindquarters. Still his head, neck and crest are good, though his eye is not a large one. How much is he worth twenty, fifty, a hundred, or two hundred pounds?
