THE CAVALRY HORSE 169 



John French who, until a recent date, commanded the 

 British Army, is a stallion of the Baron Wilkes family, 

 presented to him by an American friend. Trotting- 

 bred horses by the thousand were exported during the 

 years 19 14, 191 5, 19 16, for the use of the allies, and 

 we shall hear about them later. 



The trotting-bred horse has more endurance and a 

 better temper than the thoroughbred, more toughness 

 than the Kentucky saddle horse, more size and more 

 speed than the Arab or the Morgan.
