Castor and two Arabians are the only horses that have completed 

 three of these rides. Castor is a full brother to Eudora 0672, placed 

 by a visiting committee of the Morgan Horse Club in 1920 as the 

 second best brood mare on the farm, giving precedence only to her 

 dam, Babe. 



Dolly 02949, a registered Morgan mare that finished sixth in the 

 1920 endurance ride, was bred by the U. S. Morgan Horse Farm on 

 the remount plan. She was sired by Dewey 6481, a full brother to 

 Bennington 56&3, and he was bred by the farm. 



Gladstone 6922, the registered Morgan gelding that won second 

 place in the 1922 endurance ride, was bred by the U. S. Morgan Horse

Farm. He was sired by General Gates, and his dam was Minnehaha 

 01760, a mare obtained from the State of Washington. Minnehaha 

 was a half sister to Troubadour of Willowmoor, the present premier sire 

 at the farm. This mare was killed by lightning during the summer 

 of 1921, but the U. S. Morgan Horse Farm is fortunate in having two 

 of her daughters with which to perpetuate the good qualities of the 

 family. Gladstone finished the ride in excellent condition, receiving 

 a score on this of 56, the same as that given the winner. He was only 

 three points behind the winner on lime score. In his official record 

 appears this notat inn after Gladstone's name, in (he space for remarks 

 en condition at the end of the ride: "No remarks. Sound as when 

 started."
