THE PERCHF.RON AND ARABIAN IMPORTING HORSE CO. 



This is what the Western Resources of Lincoln, Neb., of August 

 loth, 1889, says of The Percheron Arabian Importing Horse 

 Company : — 



** The Percheron and Arabian Importing Horse Company is one 

 of the great institutions of which the West can boast possession, and 

 should be proud to claim. The business coaiducted is not only im-

 to American soil and leading them to the door of Western farmers 

 and stockmen for inspection and purchase, but likewise in breeding 

 on a scale of magnitude commensurate with their abundant capital, 

 unbridled enterprise and steadfast energy. In Perche, France, their

 experience, and brought a class of horses this year nearer in accord 

 with the demand of Americans than last year. That is, they are 

 larger and possess quality from the tip of ear to the canon bones. 

 Some twenty stallions and mares were seen, and though just landed 

 from their long trip by rail and water, they are in fine fettle, and if 

 no impediment is encountered the company will be able to select a 

 ' show herd ' difficult to beat. The horses were principally produced 

 on the Medavy Farm, which adds interest to them, for it indicates 

 the character of the home establishment in stronger terms than words 

 can. Bayard, a beautiful black stallion with the brilliant star, three
