Description: Here we see two horses grazing in a field in the summer. The Houyhnhnms asks about the horses in Europe and how they live. Gulliver explains that the horses in Europe are grazed in fields in the summer and live in stables in the winter. Gulliver explains that humans or yahoos govern the country and care for the horses or Houyhnhnms. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
