(GB) AKA Listers Snake; AKA Bowes Snake, AKA Robinsons Barb. Sire Line Lister Turk. Snake was bred in Yorkshire by Matthew Lister, and probably covered in the stud of Mr. Robinson at Easy, near Richmond, Yorkshire. He was never in training, being rendered incapable by a tumourous swelling that attended him in his youth; and from a suppostion that the same was the effect of the sting or bite of some venomous reptile, was therefore called Snake [Pick, i, 6]. Among his sons were Bay Wilkinson, Beavers Driver, Lowther, the brothers Easby Snake and Williams Squirrel, and Snake Colt.
