Show I. I I ! ... .HI t Seventy-three, i years agp, on Kentucky soil there came to light a stallion colt given the name of "Denmark" and got by imported Hedgeford, the foundation of the Denmark family and a thorough- ' bred. This stallipn was bred to a fine and easily gaited mare known as the Stevenson mare, and.&rjgduceg GaWs Denmark.. By careful selfeon and mating mat-ing he produced Washington Denmark and Drarnond Denmark. Den-mark. Through Washington Denmark he got Cosglers Denmark, Den-mark, the sire of the great Rex Denmark 840, tho sire of the retired re-tired champion Rex McDonald, and others. Diamond Denmark, the other son of Gaines Denmark, sired the famous old Montrose 106, champion cham-pion of his day. Other noted descendants of ' this foundation horse, Denmark, are Black Squirrel 58, Artist 75. Through the best sons and daughters of the above sires, by scientifically mating with other strains, wo have produced the most beautiful as well as the most useful horse in the world. No other breed has been bred to carry their heads and tails up like a peacock, standing still or in motion a horse that is not only a saddler, but can do heavy work on the farm and in light harness show speed and action at the trot. He is the only one "that can fill those three places with any degree of satisfaction. His graceful movements going, the gates under tho saddle, with ease to himself and comfort to his rider, make him attractive to i the most fastidious, and the demand de-mand is becoming greater than the supply, as horse back riding, is increasing in popularity each , year in the cities. It is the great- j est exercise for health as well as ' a source of pleasure. There will , be such a demand that prices j j may soar beyond all comprehen- ! sion. As to the value of the j saddle cross, the more style and finish you can get on your har- ; ness horse the greater the value, j Some of our greatest show horses ! of today, both in harness and un- I der saddles are a cross of the trotting horse with the;Denmark Saddler. f ' I |
