The Successful Type of Horse That May Be Profitably Raised by New England Farmers (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Successful Type of Horse That May Be Profitably Raised by New England Farmers
Our thoroughbreds which have come from the Arab stock have within the last one hundred and fifty years been raised from an average height of 14 - 2 hands to fully 15 - 3 and 16 hands. This has been brought about by careful, systematic and generous feeding of the youngsters, and it is a fact that many of the training stables to - day feed their two-year-olds twelve to fifteen quarts a day.
It cannot be said that the New England farmer is the only one that has had the one point in view, namely, that of speed. Throughout the Whole United States this has been the only point sought for in trotters for years; and this is naturally so, because it is speed that brought the money and won the money.
Cicero J. Hamlin, years ago, was criticised on all sides for purchasing Mambrino King, the so-called dude horse, in Kentucky, on account of his good looks. All those who had the pleasure of attending the Madison Square Garden show of 1893 - 94 remember the handsome chestnut stallion, as he was led down the side line of the ring, with simply a nose band in the hands of his colored attendant. The attention of the vast audience was perhaps equally divided between Mambrino King and Prescott Lawrence's celebrated hackney stallion Fashion.
