Butcher delivering meat on horseback
I'm curious why the butcher's horse has no tail hair.
Maybe the horse stays in a small stall.
Maybe the horse wore it off slapping at flies.
The saddle rack for carrying meat is also interesting.
It appears to be designed so the butcher doesn't have to dismount to make a meat delivery.
It is probably in front of him so he can protect it from any dogs that might want a free sample :)
