过了一会儿，有一个上了年纪的牧师，骑着一匹灰色的母马，用一种拿不准的语。

Presently he was met by an elderly parson astride on a gray mare, who, as he rode, hummed a wandering tune.

从出生后几天开始，母马和小马驹应当给于安静，与其他动物隔离开，形成一种亲密关系，让小马驹得到力量。

For the first few days after birth, the mare and the foal should be allowed peace and quiet away from other animals to form a close bond and to allow the foal to gain in strength.
