very best specimens for breeding purposes and controlling the breeding 

 animals for the best results. This is the only manner of obtaining a 

 true type of animals, and eventually they will gain their point of pro- 

 ducing a coach horse of merit. 



AMERICAN BREEDERS NOT IN THE BACKGROUND. 



With the many noble specimens of the Arab, thoroughbred, and 

 Morgan strains of horses we have had in this country, and the hard 

 work in the development of the American trotter, we have no doubt 

 now the very best material for the foundation of the typical coach horse, 

 and as soon as we turn our undivided attention in that direction we 

 will astonish the world in being able to get all the required essentials 

 demanded. 



Had we given, as much attention to the development of the coach 

 horse as we have to the speedy animal, we would have been at the top 

 in form, style, action and possibly size and color, before this time. The 

 introduction of the foreign coach stallions so far, has not seemed to 

 work well with the mares of this country, and about twenty years' ex- 

 perience demonstrates that from such stallions as have been imported 

 and bred to the mares of the country, we can find but very few speci- 

 mens that meet the demands of the coach markets.
