APPENDIX. 



IN" concluding this book I feel that while I have faithfully 

 — and, I believe, impartially — mentioned and described 

 many prominent horses, both of the present and past, I feel 

 that the book will be incomplete should I fail to mention more 

 particularly some of the iudividual animals owned and driven 

 by myself during a period of some forty -five years. "While 

 some people care nothing for horses unless they are fast and 

 have records, I have ever estimated them for their general 

 utility and measured them by their general worth. I remem- 

 ber with pleasure many very good roadster and business horses 

 — both mares and geldings — that I have handled duriug these 

 years ; also several well-matched pairs, in which I have taken 

 some pride. Also the stallions I have owned or have had 

 charge of at different periods of my life with the, I think, 

 laudable object of improving the horse stock of America. I 

 will in this connection individualize one hundred or so only of 

 the better ones of the whole lot ; in some cases giving their 

 breeding, or partially so. For convenience I will divide them 

 into three classes. 



CLASS I.— EOADSTER AND BUSINESS HORSES. 



Peince Albebt was my first horse. I bought him of a 

 dealer on my own judgment in 1850, and never bought a bet- 

 ter bargain since. He was a steel-gray gelding, six years old, 

 a Morgan, from northern New York, and the very picture of 

 Green Mountain Morgan, as given in this book. (See index to 

 illustrations.) He was about fifteen hands high and weighed 

 1,000 pounds. This proved a very valuable horse, and his after 

 owner was once offered $500 for him.
