Part IV: A Voyage to the Country of the Houyhnhnms
September 7, 1710 – July 2, 1715
Despite his earlier intention of remaining at home, Gulliver returns to sea as a captain. On this voyage he is forced to find new additions to his crew who he believes to have turned the rest of the crew against him. His crew then mutiny and after keeping him contained for some time resolve to leave him on the first piece of land they come across and continue on as pirates. He is abandoned in a landing boat and comes first upon a race of (apparently) hideous deformed creatures to which he conceives a violent antipathy. Shortly thereafter he meets a horse and comes to understand that the horses (in their language Houyhnhnm or "the perfection of nature") are the rulers and the deformed creatures ("Yahoos") are human beings in their base form. Gulliver becomes a member of the horse's household, and comes to both admire and emulate the Houyhnhnms and their lifestyle, rejecting humans as merely Yahoos endowed with some semblance of reason which they only use to exacerbate and add to the vices Nature gave them. However, an Assembly of the Houyhnhnms rules that Gulliver, a Yahoo with some semblance of reason, is a danger to their civilization and he is expelled. He is then rescued, against his will, by a Portuguese ship, and is surprised to see that the captain, a Yahoo, is a wise, courteous and generous person. He returns to his home in England. However, he is unable to reconcile himself to living among Yahoos; he becomes a recluse, remaining in his house, largely avoiding his family and his wife, and spending several hours a day speaking with the horses in his stables.

Parte IV - Gli Houyhnhnms
7 settembre, 1710 – 5 dicembre, 1715
L'ultimo viaggio porta Gulliver nel mondo dei cavalli razionali, esseri saggi che hanno sviluppato un sofisticato metodo di comunicazione ma non conoscono il significato di parole come "vero" e "falso", non concepiscono il concetto di guerra e di violenza. Unico difetto delle loro terre è la presenza di esseri brutali che camminano su due gambe invece che su quattro: gli Yahoos, del tutto simili agli esseri umani. Gulliver prova vergogna verso il genere umano vedendo quegli individui abbandonati a se stessi e, riconoscendo la superiorità degli Houyhnhnms, desidera vivere con loro per apprendere ciò che conoscono, ma il Concilio Supremo degli Houyhnhnms lo rifiuta, poiché trova inammissibile che un individuo simile agli Yahoos venga a vivere con loro, e lo bandisce. Così Gulliver si costruisce una barca per potere tornare in Inghilterra e, una volta tornato a casa, seppur felice di reincontrare sua moglie e i suoi figli, non riesce a sopportare l'odore della razza umana e va a vivere nella sua stalla.
