SOUND AND UNSOUND HORSES 



of these horses are about three-quarter 

 Clydesdales. 



As a rule they are big, powerful horses, 

 rather leggy and deficient in body, yet 

 of very vigorous constitution, and able 

 to perform work that could not be done 

 by more typically bred heavy horses. 



The demand for Clydesdales is not 

 as great in England as in the land of 

 their nativity, yet greater than Scot- 

 land's demand for our beautiful Shire. 



There is plenty of room for the best 

 horses of both classes, and a ready 

 market for such. The Clydesdales are 

 particularly strong pullers, a very 

 necessary quality considering the large 

 amount of ploughed hilly land in Scot- 

 land. It is at times truly wonderful to 

 see some of these horses toiling away 

 before a plough over almost perpen- 

 dicular braes, and many of these being, 

 practically, only colts.
