 awarded. The Judges may award such ribbons as they deem to be de- 

 served, subject to the following rules: 



(1) Age counts in favor of a horse. 



(2) Blue ribbons or first prizes are not to be awarded to green horses, 

 and,, if possible, not to horses who have worked less than one year. 



(3) Blue ribbons or first prizes are not to be awarded to any horse, 

 unless, allowing for the imperfections of age, he is a horse of good type and 

 good quality.* 



MANNERS 



Manners should be considered, as showing whether or not the horse has 

 been treated kindly. 



COLOR 



The color of a horse does not count, even in respect to matched pairs. 



BLINDNESS 



A blind horse is not disqualified. 



THE VEHICLE 



The vehicle does not count, except that a vehicle too heavy for the 

 horse or horses drawing it should either disqualify the entry or reduce the 

 grade of ribbon which it is to receive.
