What reading level is Things Worth Knowing About Horses book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Most of the French post and diligence horses have smaller heads than ours ; but they, though good horses, are by no means better, or I might say so good as our own. Small ears, and those somewhat pricked (that is, very close together) at the points, are a marked feature in German horses.
I do not remember that in my life I ever met with a very pricked-eared horse a good one ; certainly not a racehorse or hunter.
Persons are apt to imagine a small head shows EIG HEADS ON HORSES. 149 breeding, as... indicative of an approach — or rather, in technical phrase, "a hark back" — to the Arabian blood from which thorough-bred horses usually spring. This is all quite correct, but it must be borne in mind that horses have a dam as well as a sire. The dam, granddam, or great granddam, go back as far as you like, was, in ninety- nine cases in a hundred, purely English. From her the horse derives his peculiarities, as well as from the sire ; conse- quently suppose the dam happens to have a large head, and the sire one peculiarly Arab-like, the pro- geny is quite likely to show nothing in point of head of the ancestry from which he sprang.
