Advice on choosing a horse!

Posted by Elaine Walker on August 30, 2002

I am trying to trace the roots of the following traditional advice on choosing a horse and would be glad of any clues - thanks.

One white foot, buy him;
Two white feet, try him;
Three white feet, look well about him;
Four white feet, do without him.
