As horses go, none are alike in character, and even tho some colts might be from the same mother and father, alike in color and markings, none will be alike in thinking and acting, just as it is with human families or with crowds.The bad might come out of the best, and the other way around. ... But I think the reader will get a fair idea, and maybe see as I do, a sort of likeness to the human in their faithfulness, or trickery or scheming bad or good acting, all in their different ways.This is a quote from the Preface of Horses I've Known by Will James.I read this when I was a kid, but then forgot about it in middle age.
