The _g’horry-waun_ sits astride that part of the fore-frame which may be compared with the pole and traverse of one of our four-wheeled carriages, under a _seiwaun_, or _semiaun_, made of the same stuff as the covering, supported in nearly a horizontal position, by two slight poles fixed into iron ferules at the body of the frame, and proceeding, at and angle of about 45° to the foremost edge of the _seiwaun_. The bullocks are managed by means of a strong cord, passed through their _septums_, or divisions between their nostrils, and tied over the crowns of their heads, where the rein, made also of rope, attaches: this effectually curbs the cattle. Possibly such a device may appear to partake of cruelty; but experience has proved, that no other mode is adequate to keeping this fiery, restless, and vicious, breed of cattle in tolerable subordination. The _g’horry-waun_ is provided with a severe goad: the application of which, to the hind quarters of the bullocks, causes them to keep up a good smart trot. When they are tolerably quiet, the driver’s feet generally suffice, to keep them to their pace: but, when all other modes fail, he twists their tails, and thus urges them to their best speed. The reins should serve both to stop, and to guide; but, as the bullocks are not always prompt in turning when only so acted upon, the tail is often resorted to, as a never-failing rudder! Your true home-bred Englishmen can have little idea of the rate at which a pair of oxen can draw one of these _r’huts_; he cannot readily imagine, that they can travel from four to six miles within the hour; and that, too, where the _g’horry-ka-leek_, or track of a wheel, is scarcely to be found. I have seen a pair of _Nagore_, or of _Guzzerat_, bullocks, (I forget which,) standing full sixteen hands at the withers, (making allowance for the humps on the shoulders of all cattle bred in that quarter;) that could with ease trot with a _r’hut_ at the rate of eight miles within the hour. But such must not be considered as common: perhaps five miles may be the truest average. Nor is it to be understood, that bullocks keep up an even pace, as horses do; on the contrary, they either proceed at their quickest trot, or at a walk; there is little medium: the fact is, that, not being trained to a continuance of one set pace, but urged by starts, at the will of their driver, they want that habit which would improve their wind.
