A Hunter and War Horse. 193 



bred horse is seen. Is an entire stud of thorough-bred 

 hunters to be met with ? Comparatively speaking, how 

 seldom he is found as a hack or riding horse. He is 

 seldom seen as a cavalry charger, and he has not been 

 successful in producing good troopers for our cavalry in 

 India. 



Yet the racer ought to be essentially a saddle horse. 

 We ought not to have to raise a class of horses for the 

 saddle, exclusive of the thorough-bred horse. The 

 Arabian is a racer, a war horse, and hunter, a riding 

 horse par excellence.
