200 The Arabian Horse. 



horse of pure Arabian blood, and know he is conferring 

 a lasting benefit on his country. The Welter weight 

 might find himself carried in the first flight by a real 

 weight-carrier of pure blood. The cavalry officer would 

 have a charger worthy to carry him in front of his 

 squadrons. All who are interested in riding would be 

 benefited, for we should have a pure breed of saddle- 

 horses. 



Remarks on the future treatment of the Arabian horse 

 in this country, to ensure the successful establishment of 

 a new and pure breed, come not within the province of 

 this work — the chief object of which is to point out that 

 our thorough-bred horse is not pure ; that a pure breed 

 of horses does exist, and where it is to be found. 



First let us obtain the pure bred and perfect horse, 

 then let us take care to keep his future generations 

 pure.
