		The worse thing these men could say about a horse was that he was "chicken-hearted" or "gutless" and that is because the best Saddlebreds were brave horses, fearless in battle, fearless in the backwoods, not due to dullness or stupidity, but because of their high intelligence and confidence in themselves.
