CLEVELAND, OR CARRIAGE HORSE. 
exclusively for that pace. In America the trot is the only pace that is valued, and the 
energies of the animal are all directed to that single point. A good trotter is possessed 
of endurance as well as speed, for one of these animals trotted one hundred miles in ten 
hours and seven minutes, inclusive of thirty-seven minutes which were occupied in 
refreshment and stoppages, so that the actual time occupied was only nine hours 
and a half. 
In the present times, when railways have taken the place of the old mail coaches, the 
regular Coach Horse is little needed, and has been metamorphosed into the handsome 
but less-enduring Carriage Horse. 
A valuable Carriage Horse has a large admixture of good blood in him, and as he is 
required more for the sake of appearance than for steady, hard work, he is required to 
possess a high, strong action and proud bearing, well arched neck, and a light springy step. 
His speed is very considerable, and he can do a great amount of work, but he is not fitted 
for dragging heavy loads like his predecessors, nor can he endure a continuance of work, 
for several days in succession. The splendid action of the Carriage Horse, although it is 
very showy, and adds much to the magnificence of his appearance, is injurious to the 
welfare of his feet and legs, which are sadly damaged by being battered against the hard 
stones of the street pavements. 
The name of Cleveland Horse is given to this animal because it derives its origin from 
the Cleveland Bay, a variety of the Horse that is largely bred at Cleveland, in the North 
Riding of Yorkshire, and which, when crossed with more or less thorough-bred animals, 
produces the best Carriage Horses in the world. Very great care is bestowed on this
