The horse market situated
in a field near the Temple
of Heaven is interesting. Here
are to be seen many mongolian
ponies for sale with being led
about a large ring saddled
ready to ride. The purchaser
rides or buys some one ride
the pony on a straight away
course following the wall.
The gait is always a fast
even trot or single foot
which gives the rider a steady
sear seat. Rebbing cart
horses are also offered strided
out here. The baby carting
a small cart set down solidly
on the axles of the wheels which
are about 3 feet in diameter
+ heart studded on the fellows
with iron bolts. The cart is
bodied over by a curved horse
of blue cloth open at the front.
