En parlant de la profondeur d'un corps de cheval, je me réfère à sa profondeur au point le plus bas du dos (Fig. ii). Si un animal présente une bonne mesure au niveau de la présente partie, il est presque certain de posséder juste substance de corps. La mesure du garrot à la poitrine est très trompeuse ; car il n'est pas le seul touché par la hauteur du garrot eux-mêmes, mais il al

. Points of the horse; a treatise on the conformation, movements, breeds and evolution of the horse. Horses. i6o THE TRUNK. legs are apart, the less rigid will be the connection between them, and the less efficiently will they work together. When speaking of the depth of a horse's body, I refer to its depth at the lowest point of its back (Fig. ii). If an animal shows a good measurement at this part, he is almost certain to possess fair substance of body. The measurement from withers to brisket is very fallacious ; for it is not alone affected by the height of the withers themselves, but it also affords hardly any indication of the nature of the " centre- piece " of the body. Many horses which are very light in their loins and back ribs have good depth from withers to brisket, as in Fig. 268. In different horses, the length of the body varies from about 2.4 to 2.8 times its depth. Chest and Ribs.—Although the heart, as well as the lungs, is contained in the chest, I shall not consider it here , for I can offer no clue as to its action from the consideration of the conformation of the chest, which is influenced chiefly by the shape, size and setting-on of the ribs. The points which we should seek for in the ribs of the horse, in order to obtain the best possible breathing power, are — I. Convexity or roundness of ribs (''barrel") behind the shoulders. 2 Good length of ribs. 3 Ribs well inclined to the rear. I may explain that the convexity of a curve may be measured by the proportion which its height {c d, Fig. 261 or Fig. 262) bears to the length of its chord a b. Thus, if c d.
