Title	A Poney Race
Date	[1 Jan 1807]
Description	Two sailors on horseback. Both horses are blinkered, wearing cart-horses' collars, and are galloping, with the sailors clinging on. The sailor on the left has lost his hat, and calls out to his companion: "Hello you Swab, lay too a bit can't you, I've lost part of my upper rigging - and the Vessel's firing signal guns of distress. Have you lost your hearing." The sailor on the right replies: "If the luber had not stood to it they were both Ponies, I should have taken mine for a Cart Horse by the bumping in the stern."
