HORSE SENSE. 



THE CARRIAGE BROOD MARE OF AMERICAN BLOOD. 



This class of mares also must be of our American breeding or from 

 imported stock that trace in the same blood line channels. 



The fact that matched teams of typical carriage horses bring the 

 highest prices of any other class in the markets of the world, should 

 encourage the breeder who is the possessor of mares capable of supply- 

 ing this demand, to devote time, care and money in the selection of 

 stallions to mate them with to this end, remembering that breeding 

 is as essential as conformation for uniform results. 



Cut No. 14. 

 : AMERICAN CARRIAGE STALLION. 



COMPARISON OF BLOOD LINES AS NECESSARY AS THAT 

 OF CONFORMATION. 



Comparison of the mares with stallions in conformation is with the 

 view of correcting weaknesses and constitutional defects, but a com- 

 parison of blood lines is equally necessary where an improvement or 

 even the maintainance of the general characteristics is desired. 



Cut IS is to illustrate the character of a matron to be bred to this 

 class of stallions; compare the two, point by point, for the duties of the 

 carriage for active work. 



This mare is a member of the Clay, Pilot, Jr., Manibrino Chief and 

 Morgan families.
