The yron gray Horse

NExt him is the yron gray, which is counted the worst colour, for the yron gray Horses are commonly faint to labour, and il at al assaies, for although he be faire of bodie, he may in no wise away with any great labour. As for o∣ther colours skewde or spotted Horse, some chance to be good and some bad, wherefore there is no certaintie in them, but if the sire be good, the other may folow. Thus much is spo∣ken to be marked of the colour of Horses. Also if ye put a white Horse to couer a coloured Mare, shée shal haue com∣monly a Colt of a sandie colour, like an yron gray, neither like the sire nor yet the dambe: yet many Mares wil haue a Colt like the Horse that gat it.
