Farm Horses. 



4. The Cleveland, a breed originating in Yorkshire, is 

 now a carriage horse rather than a farm horse. Tall, of a 

 bay colour, not of so heavy or compact a build as the 

 other breeds named, this breed now furnishes horses for 

 the carriage and for the hunting field rather than for the 

 farm. We add in a foot-note a memorandum of the fairs 

 where these breeds are to be seen.*
