DESCRIPTION OF THE TRAKEHNER COACH HORSE 



I*HIS BREED of coach horses, developed under the patronage of the Prussian 

 government, includes among its representatives horses that for general use 

 exhibit a high standard of excellence. They possess the substance required In a 

 weight pulling coach horse and with it much of the quality which reflects a high 

 order of breeding. The outline of the best type illustrates a high order of perfec- 

 tion for a coach horse ; while the advantage of large size with good bone adds 

 greatly to their weight pulling qualities. In color these horses are with rare 

 exception bright bays with few if any markings. Though typical coach action has 

 not been made a feature of their breeding, as In the instance of some of the other 

 breeds of coach horses, yet it is a characteristic which should be in evidence in any 

 show ring containing a display of this class. 



DESCRIPTION OF THE ORLOFF TROTTER 



*PHE ORLOFF trotter, being the national horse of Russia, has been designed 

 largely by government direction to meet the many demands which are made 

 upon a horse of general utility. They should be expected to show the 

 quality which would be required in any light horse frequently subjected to 

 severe tests of endurance and strength of structure. The type is one smoothly 

 moulded with muscle, strong in all its parts and yet not unduly coarse, while at the 

 same time not being so finely constructed as to detract any from its general strength. 

 Being vigorous, they possess an abundance of ambition, and associated with this 

 there is a compactness and general unity of structure which makes them good 

 wearers under work. It is not expected that a horse of this type would have the 

 ability to trot as fast as one showing a higher and more special construction, but it 

 is proper to look for that type which would be adapted for covering long distances 

 with the least fatigue.
