Show Make-Up of Good Mare. To be most highly valuable the mare must possess more than merely the ability to produce a foal. She should possess enough breeding to stamp her offspring with a definite type. Her general character should conform to those demanded by the market in definite classes of horses. Ho fine this type, she should be mated with a pure bred stallion of the same type. Opposite or extreme types should not be mated. Topping a thuti I sand-pound roadster mare with a ton draft stallion Is generally unwise. ! The foal will usually develop into that I misfit, the "general purpose horse." by ! which most of the farm work of the country Is done, because this class has no demand or recognition on the market |
