92 THE BREEDS OF LIVE-STOCK 



Colorado, in the efforts to establish a breed of American 

 carriage horses, carries some Morgan blood. 



The blood of the Morgan horse has become rather 

 widely scattered over America, although there are com- 

 paratively few Morgans available. Most of these are 

 found in New England and other eastern states, although 

 there are pure-blooded Morgans in parts of Iowa, Indiana, 

 Illinois, Kentucky and Missouri. The American Morgan 

 Horse Register is published at Middlebury, Vermont. 



99. The Pilot family takes its name from old Pilot, a 

 Canadian pacer from near Montreal, afterwards trained 

 at both gaits. After passing through many hands and 

 sojourning in Connecticut, New York, and Louisiana, he 

 reached Kentucky in 1832. There he sired Pilot Jr., out 

 of a mare of Thoroughbred breeding. He sired eight 

 trotters in the list, but his blood was chiefly valuable 

 through the female line because of the number of great 

 brood mares he sired. Among the brood mares sired by 

 Pilot Jr., Miss Russell is most noted. 



100. Other families. In addition to the foregoing 

 recognized families, there are a number of others that have 

 been very aptly termed the submerged families. Many 

 of these are of Thoroughbred origin, but they are mostly 

 descended from Canadian pacers. Among those of 

 Thoroughbred breeding are American Star 14, sire of the 

 dams of Guy, 2 : 09J, Dexter, 2 : 17J, Robert McGregor, 

 2 : 17|, Aberdeen and other noted sires. The Canadian 

 pacing families are discussed in more detail in the history 

 of the Standardbred pacing horse. 



101. Description. There are many pronounced types 

 among the Standardbred trotting horses (Plate III) . Some 

 are speed marvels, as Lou Dillon, slim, graceful and of high 

 nervous organization : others are of the campaigner type,
