Excerpt from A Pilgrimage to Nejd, Vol. 2 of 2: The Cradle of the Arab Race, A Visit to the Court of the Arab Emir, and "Our Persian Campaign" The horses here seem to be of small account. Fifteen or twenty mares, wearing the usual iron shackles, are grazing about a mile o¿', some with foals by their sides, all standing in water above their fetlocks. We walked round to examine them, and saw one good-looking white mare that may be thoroughbred, and also abay somewhat better than the rest, but they are inferior animals. A foal was born last night, and was being removed with its mother, a wretched little creature, to the dry ground at the camp. There were no camels to be seen. They and the sheep are at pasture at a consid crable distance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
