Description: After his return to England, Gulliver bought two uncastrated stallions. Gulliver spent most of his time with these horses, as he found their company preferable to human company, and reminded him of his time with the Houyhnhnms. Gulliver says he spends at least four hours each day speaking with the horses. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
