in falconry, signifies a hawk's flying away with the quarry. Carrying is one of the ill qualities of a hawk, which he acquires either by a dislike of the falconer, or not being sufficiently broke to the lure.

among huntmen. When a hare runs on rotten ground (or even sometimes in a froth), and it sticks to her feet, they say she carries.

among riding-masters. A horse is said to carry low, when having naturally an ill-shaped neck, he lowers his head too much. All horses that arm themselves carry low, but a horse may carry low without arming. A French branch or gigot is prescribed as a remedy against carrying low.

A horse is said to carry well, when his neck is raised or arched, and he holds his head high and firm, without constraint.
