One of a set of twelve prints that make fun of different sorts of mounts. Here, a farmer with a basket over his arm leaves forward and talks to his standing shaggy pony. Text above reads: "If thee tak'st it into thy head to stand still every five minutes–I should be glad to know at what time I am to get to market?"
