To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I made many attempts to approach them by stealth, when they were grazing and playing their gambols, without ever having been more than once able to succeed. In this instance, I left my horse, and with my friend Chadwick, skulked through a ravine for a couple of miles ; until we were at length brought within gun-shot of a fine herd of them, when I used my pencil for some time, while we were under cover of a little hedge of bushes which effectually screened us from their view. In this herd we saw... all the colours, nearly, that can be seen in a kennel of English hounds. Some were milk-white, some jet black others were sorrel, and bay, and cream colour many were of an iron grey; and others were pied, containing a variety of colours on the same animal. Their manes were very profuse, and hanging in the wildest confusion over their necks and faces and their long tails swept the ground (see Fig. 160).
After we had satisfied our curiosity in looking at these proud and playful animals, we agreed that we would try the experiment of " creasing " one, as it is termed in this country ; which is done by shooting them through the gristle on the top of the neck, which stuns them so that they fall, and are secured with the hobbles on the feet; after which they rise again without fatal injury.
