THE PERGHERON REVIEW 
Woodside Farms 
SANDUSKY, OHIO 
Owns 
Two of the Greatest Stallions of the Breed 
GIROUST 78504 (69369) LAET 133886 
Foundation Sire Still in Service in Woodside Stud — Grand Champion Stallion Ohio 
Percheron Breeders' Show 1919 Now Heads the Woodside Stud 
LA BELLE 34982, Champion American Bred Mare at the 1911 International, and COUCEOROUS 94852, Grand Champion 
Mare at 1913 Iowa State Fair, are conceded by good judges to be two of the greatest mares of the breed. Last fall I 
purchased these two noted mares together with Laet, the grand champion stallion at the Ohio Percheron Breeders' Show; 
Perfection, sired by the International grand champion Dragon and out of Zaza, the World's Fair grand champion mare; 
Syncopation, another daughter of Dragon that was grand champion mare at the Ohio and Virginia State Fairs in 1917, and 
lona, a daughter of Dragon and out of Couceorous. lona was first in her class at the Ohio State Fair in 1917 and 1919. 
I also purchased Intrepid by the same sire as Laet and out of the grand champion mare Zaza at the World's Fair. Before 
I purchased these mares I already had such show mares as Woodside Jena, Brilliantwill, Cozette, Alicia, Queenly, Duchess 
of Woodside, Woodside, Nancy and Diad. The latter is the dam of Woodside Haroust, the only first prize futurity colt 
that ever came back the next year and headed his class. 
There are more champions owned at Woodside Farms than on any other farm in Ohio. The 
sensational show horse, Laet, will be allowed to serve a limited number of approved mares. 
The old sire, GIROUST, that has made Woodside Farms noted for its good Percherons in years past, will also be allowed 
to serve a few outside mares. We have a few good young stallions that are priced to sell quickly. 
W. H. BUTLER, Owner.
