雜種栗毛牝 喜初號
Crossbred Chestnut Mare 喜初號
A horse stands in full profile, its neck lifted high. Its long tail hangs down to around its hind legs.
About this photo
The horse stands in front of a low fence. White sky spreads above its back, and since the photo is black and white, its body looks dark.
Under the photo are the words 雜種栗毛牝 ("crossbred chestnut mare") and 喜初號, followed by the district and name of the person who entered the horse. Chestnut (kurige) is a name for a horse's coat color, covering shades of brown. The title tells us a color that the black-and-white photo cannot show.
Beside the neck, a small figure stands holding the reins. Against the front of the horse's chest, the figure shows up faintly in white.
