=A Bull.=—If a horse grunts when stood against a wall and threatened with a stick or whip, he is called a bull (or grunter) and by many is considered unsound in wind, or a roarer. The test is not conclusive, as not all roarers grunt and many sound horses grunt when so treated, or even when the rider places his foot in the stirrup. It is also used to describe a wind-broken horse that chokes at work. A heavey horse does not grunt when tested in the above mentioned manner. =A Bull Heaver.=—A bad choker. =A Canard.=—A bit windy. =A Cold Collar.=—Balky. =Afraid of the Floor.=—Has chorea, or St. Vitus’ dance. =A Gravel.=—Suppurating corn.
