- Description
- Here we see a spur on the back of a boot. 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 the spurs on the back of boots to control horses. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
