THE SADDLE HOUSE. 



As to what constitutes a saddle horse in this country is a 

 much discussed question. The fashionable animal, and the one 

 most favored, particularly for park use, is the Kentucky-bred 

 three-gaited horse. That he fills the part, at least in the eyes 

 of American horsemen, there is no question, and as riding is 

 becoming extremely fashionable and that young America is 

 cultivating horsemanship from his early years, it goes without 

 saying that the breeding of this particular class of horse will 

 bcome a much more important industry than it is today, 

 and like the other breeds alluded to, will occupy the attention 

 of breeders in the future far more than he does at present.
