My Breaking In (Ch 3 / Q27)

An important quote from this chapter is, "...but a horse never knows who may buy him, or who may drive him: it is all chance for us...". It is of great importance to the book because Beauty can never decide his master. He goes to many different masters, some good, some not so good. Even some actually mean to him. His first master was a kind and gentle man, he tried to make Beauty's breaking as easy as possible. He almost always with him and prepared him for the hardships of life. He especially prepared him for the overwhelming sounds that surround a working horse by putting him in a field next to railroad tracks.
