THE CLYDESDALE DRAFT HORSE I9I 



Bloomfield Champion (95). — This horse was a great 

 grandson of Glancer (335), and was born about 1831. 

 He was described as being a rich dark brown with forelegs 

 black, hind pasterns white, and a narrow white streak 

 on the face. Bloomfield Champion proved a great sire, 

 and is sometimes referred to as "Aberdeen Champion," 

 because he gained first prize at the Highland and Agri- 

 cultural Society's Show at Aberdeen in 1834. He sired 

 Glancer (153), Glancer (338), Bowman's Colt (1078), 

 and a number of noted brood mares, many of which were 

 noted show animals. 



Clyde alias Glancer (153).. — This horse was sired by 

 Bloomfield Champion, and was born about 1835. He was 

 described as dark brown in color, powerfully built, and 

 having been ruptured, was known as "The Ruptured 

 Horse." He was a remarkable sire, as shown by the 

 seven sons and one daughter registered in Volume I of 

 the Scotch Clydesdale Stud Book. Many of these sons 

 proved themselves sires of merit and great show 

 animals. From 1844 to 1850 all of the important prizes 

 at the Scotch horse shows went to the produce of 

 Clyde. 



Prince of Wales (673). — This horse was sired by Gen- 

 eral (322), by Sir Walter Scott {7^7), a great show horse 

 and breeder, while his dam was Darling, by Logan's Twin 

 (741). He was described as being dark brown in color 

 with a white stripe on his face and more or less white on 

 three legs. He possessed a slightly Roman nose and 

 perhaps somewhat straight hocks, although he had good 

 action. Prince of Wales was not only a great show horse, 

 but one of the greatest breeders of sires the -Clydesdale 

 breed has produced, being credited with more offspring 

 in Volume I of the Scotch Clydesdale Stud Book than 

 any other sire. When 18 years old' he was sold for an 

 equivalent of $4,725 at the Merryton sale. 



Darnley (222). — This horse was sired by Conqueror 

 (199), and out of Keir Peggy (187), by Sampson (741).
