The arms below the shoulders, The forearm, not the true arm, which X. includes in the
							chest. as in man, are stronger and better looking if they are
						thick. A chest of some width is better formed both
						for appearance and for strength, and for carrying the legs well apart
						without crossing. His neck should not hang downwards from the
						chest like a boar’s, but stand straight up to the crest, like a cock’s; The horse should not be
							 cock-throttled. but it should be flexible at the bend; and the
						head should be bony, with a small cheek. Thus the neck will protect the
						rider, and the eye see what lies before the feet. He will not be a star-gazer. Besides, a horse
						of such a mould will have least power of running away, be he never so
						high-spirited, for horses do not arch the neck and head, but stretch them
						out when they try to run away.
