HISTOKY 



OF THE VERMONT D R A U G H T - H R S E . 



In the first place, of the Yermont draught-horse, I have been 

 able, from his own locality, to obtain no information whatever ; 

 all the horse interest and ambition of that State, and indeed 

 of the Eastern States generally, appearing somewhat strangely 

 and injudiciously, I must say, it seems to me, to centre in what 

 they are pleased to call the M.oy gun family. 



The above cut is a portrait from life of a fine gray draught 

 horse, in the possession of Adams's Express Co. ; height, 16 

 hands ; weight, 1160 lbs. 



Incomparably, however, the best light team-horse, or ex- 

 tremely heavy carriage-horse, and another yet lighter horse of 

 somewhat the same type, are raised in Yermont, and in Yermont 

 alone, in perfection.
