SOUND AND UNSOUND HORSES 



As regards colour, the old axiom 

 that a good horse may be any colour, 

 is never more applicable than with 

 reference to the trotter. 



YORKSHIRE COACH HORSES, 

 AND CLEVELAND BAY. 



YORKSHIRE COACH HORSE. 



Compared with the past, coach or 

 post horses are in sniall demand, conse- 

 quently there is little stimulus for 

 breeders to produce this class of animal. 



The old Yorkshire coach horse was 

 made of the right material for long 

 journeys, often under the most adverse 

 conditions as to weather, etc. 



In height he was from 15.3 to 16 J 

 hands or thereabouts, bay or brown, 

 with black points. Although distinct 

 from the Cleveland bay, the Yorkshire 

 coach horse was the result of crossing 

 the Cleveland with a thoroughbred.
