Her hind-quarters were a little drooping, and in her fore-legs, and still more in her hind-legs, there was a noticeable curvature.

The muscles of both hind- and fore-legs were not very thick; but across her shoulders the mare was exceptionally broad, a peculiarity specially striking now that she was lean from training.

The bones of her legs below the knees looked no thicker than a finger from in front, but were extraordinarily thick seen from the side.

She looked altogether, except across the shoulders, as it were, pinched in at the sides and pressed out in depth.
