movement. With such interest from outside sources and such 

 direct asscciaticns is it any wonder that the subject should 

 gro_w until it became a necessity to publish a book about it? 

 Other influences have been drawn on in studying this sub- 

 ject further. In earlier days the writer happened on one of 

 the first numbers of the Breeders Gazette, containing an illus- 

 trated editorial on the points of horses. This emphasized the 

 importance of the subject and at once started the note taking 

 and the collection of photographs which seem essential features 

 for a work like this. Since then the same source has been 

 frequently drawn upon. The writer has also found it very 

 desirable to keep in touch with the London Live Stock Journal, 

 as well as many other publications along this line included in 

 the American press. Among contemporary works, Capt. Kayes' 

 "Points of the Horse," Goubaux and Barrier's "Exterior of 

 the Horse," Underbill's "Driving for Pleasure" and many 

 others have been consulted. To continue acknowledging all 

 the sources of assistance to the writer, wcul?. require another 

 volume but let it suffice to say there are hundreds of Amer- 

 ican, Canadian and British breeders to whom he vividly recog- 

 nizes his debt but feels utterly unable to adequately acknowl- 

 edge it.
