Period: 1800-1850;
Description: Here we see a pile with whips for horses, harnesses, and wheels for carriages. The Houyhnhnms asks about the horses in Europe and how they live. Gulliver explains that humans or yahoos govern the country and care for the horses or Houyhnhnms, and how humans use their horses, including the uses of whips and harnesses in controlling horses, and wheels on carriages. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
