SOUND AND UNSOUND HORSES 



tail is set on. its graceful carriage, and 

 the beauty of the hind quarters. 



The only horse that resembles it in 

 this respect is that used by black- 

 masters, i.e., the Belgian, and even in 

 this horse there is considerable distinc- 

 tion between them. 



Body of medium size, limbs rather 

 long, but proportionate. In height the 

 Cleveland is about i6 hands, bay, with 

 black points. 



General Appearance. — The breed 

 reminds one of a stoutly built Eastern 

 horse, and it is quite, indeed more than 

 likely, that Oriental blood has been the 

 foundation stone of the Cleveland. 



These horses are capital workers ; as 

 a rule good-tempered, and particularly 

 suitable for the lighter work of a farm, 

 for mineral water carts, and other forms 

 of van work. They are not heavy 

 enough to suit the heavier vans used by 

 railway contractors, etc.
