30 THE SUFFOLK HORSE. 



out this country provide one or more classes for 

 the Suffolk. 



A Suffolk horse of good pedigree can be ob- 

 tained for about sixty guineas, and if it is properly 

 looked after, when bought at the age of, say, five 

 years, it will, with ordinary attention, continue to 

 do good work for twelve years at least. 



For breeding stout van horses, a Suffolk makes 

 an excellent cross ; and for the production of 

 weight-carrying hunters it was, at one time, 

 largely employed, either as sire or dam, but since 

 the improvements brought about by the Hunters' 

 Improvement Society there has been little need 

 for this cross.
