192 A HISTORY OF THE PEROHEEON HORSE 



This stallion was described as light gray, foaled in 

 the year above mentioned, and approved by the gov- 

 ernment inspection of Nov. 23, 1846. There is rec- 

 ord at the haras of his having served during the 

 seasons of 1847 and 1848. He seems to have been

 he was a dappled gray of draft type, foaled in 1839

 service from 1847 to 1850.

 in the Nogent district under a government subsidy, 

 including a six-year-old dapple-gray owned by Count 

 de Chamoy of Charbonnieres, a five-year-old iron-

 was the property of M. Bailleau of Brunelles.
