Cavallo

it can be represented while moving at the unfinished pace ("cheerful"), or with all the legs raised as if it were overcoming an obstacle ("current"), standing on its hind legs ("tree-lined"), in the act of grazing ( "pasturing"), to walk ("passer-by"); only the head in profile or the single rump can be represented. If it bears bridles of different enamel it is said "harnessed of ...", if the whole harness, "harnessed of ...".
