Description: Here we see a horse with its bridle. 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 how humans use bridles on horses. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
