Postquam ardua montium et lubrica vallium et roscida caespitum et glebosa camporum emersi, in equo indigena peralbo vehens, iam eo quoque admodum fesso, ut ipse etiam fatigationem sedentariam incessus vegetatione discuterem, in pedes desilio, equi sudorem frontem curiose effrico, aures remulceo, frenos detraho, in gradum lenem sensim proveho, quoad lassitudinis incommodum alvi solitum ac naturale praesidium eliquaret.
I had emerged from steep mountain tracks and slippery valley roads, damp places in the meadows and cloddy paths through the fields. I was riding a native-bred pure white horse; as he too was now quite tired, and in order also to dispel my own weariness from sitting by the stimulation of walking, I jumped down to my feet. I carefully rubbed the sweat from my horses forehead, caressed his ears, unfastened his bridle, and led him along slowly at a gentle pace, until his bellys customary and natural remedy cleared out the discomfort of his fatigue.
