92 THE BREEDS OF LIVE-STOCK 
Colorado, in the efforts to establish a breed of American 
carriage horses, carries some Morgan blood. 
The blood of the Morgan horse has become rather 
widely scattered over America, although there are com- 
paratively few Morgans available. Most of these are 
found in New England and other eastern states, although 
there are pure-blooded Morgans in parts of Iowa, Indiana, 
Illinois, Kentucky and Missouri. The American Morgan 
Horse Register is published at Middlebury, Vermont.

Canadian pacer from near Montreal, afterwards trained 
at both gaits. After passing through many hands and 
sojourning in Connecticut, New York, and Louisiana, he 
reached Kentucky in 1832. There he sired Pilot Jr., out 
of a mare of Thoroughbred breeding. He sired eight 
trotters in the list, but his blood was chiefly valuable 
through the female line because of the number of great 
brood mares he sired. Among the brood mares sired by 
Pilot Jr., Miss Russell is most noted. 
100. Other families. — In addition to the foregoing 
recognized families, there are a number of others that have 
been very aptly termed the submerged families. Many 
of these are of Thoroughbred origin, but they are mostly 
descended from Canadian pacers. Among those of 
Thoroughbred breeding are American Star 14, sire of the 
dams of Guy, 2: 09%, Dexter, 2:173, Robert McGregor, 
2:175, Aberdeen and other noted sires. The Canadian 
pacing families are discussed in more detail in the history 
of the Standardbred pacing horse. 
101. Description. — There are many pronounced types 
among the Standardbred trotting horses (Plate IIL). Some 
are speed marvels, as Lou Dillon, slim, graceful and of high 
nervous organization: others are of the campaigner type,
