2. The owner leads the horse across a race-course
3. A huntsman rides the horse over a wall with hounds running beside it
4. He is one of a pair of galloping horses in a post-chaise
5. As an emaciated pack-horse he plods along a rough track
6. A huntsman stands on his dead body, cutting off the flesh for the hounds
