NEIGHING

The Sporting Dictionary and Rural Repository · 1803 · p. 2
—is an exclamatory sensation (or vociferation) by which the horse evinces either anxiety, suspense, or pleasure; but the pa ion he feels is expre ed with much more force and energy in the two first, than in the latter, which is ejaculated with low and gradual vibrative sounds, too expre ive to be mistaken by even the inexperienced naturalist, or least attentive observer. Being separated from a companion with whom he has been accustomed to stand in the same stable, and to accompany each other abroad, his inquiries are loud and ince ant upon the road or in the field; and if made upon a RACE COURSE , amidst a you sand horses, they are so completely masters of their own language , that they can instantly distinguish the exclamation of each other from the innumerable NEIGHINGS of all the rest. Finding themselves answered, at whatever distance, they display their eagerne to get together; and as they approach each other, the pleasure becomes perceptible in the way before described, and by the experienced sportsman so perfectly understood.
