348-/ THE MORGAN HORSE 



interview in 1886 said : "Tom Thumb was an exceedingly good horse, able 

 to travel 18 miles an hour on the road. All his colts were much better than 

 common. He was brown or dark bay, no marks, 14^ hands, blocky and 

 lengthy and had a thick neck. Webber said there was no Canuck about 

 him." 



G. H. Miller, deputy constable of Chester, N. Y., said in interview of 

 1886 : "Tom Thumb was bay, a small, nice, pretty horse as you ever saw, 

 blocky, square in front and behind, round as an apple, rather shortish-made 

 horse, what they call pony-built. His colts were small, blocky, nice little 

 drivers. I came here expressly to work for Webber, and I think he had Tom 

 Thumb as early as 1838." 



Jesse Wood of Sugar Loaf, N. Y., said : "Tom Thumb was a quite dark 

 brown ; not tall, but heavy." 



Mr. McWhirter of Sugar Loaf said : "I bred to Tom Thumb. He was 

 here just before Abdallah came and also after he came."
