Standard Bred. A horse is standard bred when the 

 produce of a standard trotting mare, by a standard trotting 

 horse. The distinction of the terms "standard" and "stand- 

 ard bred" grows out of the manner in which animals become 

 standard. Blue Bull became standard by the performance of 

 his progeny, and not in virtue of his inheritance, hence he was 

 not "standard bred." A mare comes into the standard by 

 virtue of her performance in 2:30 or better, and nothing known 

 of her pedigree, hence it cannot be said she was standard bred. 

 But the progeny of Blue Bull out of this mare would be 

 "standard bred" as soon as it was foaled, as both sii*e and 

 dam were standard. 



Standard by Inheritance. A term used in the same 

 sense as standard bred ; or a colt of a standard horse out of a 

 mare that is standard. 



Standard by Performance. A phrase denoting that 



the horse to which it applies has a trotting record of 2:30 or 



better, and is therefore entitled to standard registry by virtue 



of his own performance. 



The best example of developed trotters is the case of such sons and 

 daughters of uon-slandard parents that, by training derelopment, 

 become themselves standard by perfoonance.— Wallace's Monthly.

 At the start, in running races, the jockey sits down in the 

 saddle, but as soon as the horse has got into his stride he 

 should stand in the stirrups. This attitude is assumed in
