POINTS OF TYPICAL BREEDS 53 



The Vanner. 



Van, 'bus, and tramway horses are all 

 much of the same stamp, and the product 

 of a cross between a heavy draught horse 

 and one of a lighter make. No doubt a 

 large proportion of them are also bred from 

 parents practically identical in size and build, 

 so that these animals are to some extent 

 distinctive. 



Now that electric traction Is supplanting 

 the use of horses amono^st the various 

 tramway and 'bus companies, the demand 

 must be greatly on the decline. 



Both the van and 'bus horse must be 

 broad and deep-chested, have a short, stout 

 body, and well set on muscular limbs. The 

 quarters should be long and the loins strong, 

 the forearm short, and the neck deep.
