The French coach breed partakes largely of his blood. The Hackney was improved by Thoroughbred crosses. Our best saddle breeds own the Thoroughbred as an important element in their origin. The best hunters and cavalry horses carry a good percentage of Thoroughbred blood. As an improving factor on all speed horses his influence is incalculable. As a saddle racer he is supreme. The American Saddler The gaited saddle horse of America has been produced because of a revival of saddle riding among pe...ople of wealth and social promi- nence, and a certain originality of thought which has found a greater elegance and attractiveness in riding at other gaits than the walk, trot, canter horses can show. Just as the Narragansett pacer was produced in the colonial days of saddle and pillion, to meet the then existing conditions of travel, when roads were mere bridle A stable ihould not he dark ; admit the light. 24 DEVELOPMENT OF THE MODERN HORSE paths through the forest and wheeled vehicles were rare ; just as the Cleveland Bay, developed as a public post-horse in coaching days before railroads were built, was nearly lost when his place was taken by the steam locomotive, but has lately been revived for the growing needs of express delivery ; so the American Saddler is becoming an established breed to meet conditions demanding riding animals of the qualities he possesses.
