 Batchelder Horse, and I think he was a fine Morgan stallion. He was of a 

 beautiful gray color, standing 14^ hands high, a stylish, spirited, fast 

 trotter, and his colts were very good and fast. The Morgan horses are 

 celebrated for their longevity and soundness over any breed of horses of 

 which I have knowledge".
