Mexico weekly ledger., 1892-04-14

In presenting MISSOURI SQUIRREL
to the public this season, l do not
hesitate to say I offer the best saddle
stallion that Missouri has ever pos
sessed. Bred in the best saddle lines
on both sides, his production was not a
matter of chance, but a fact established
by the saying, alike begets like" He
possesses size. style and finish equal
to any living horse and his several
distinctive gaits are as natural as they
are perfectly performed. In evidence
that my estimation of my WI horse is
not o~ver-rated, I present you here the
testimonials of the judges in the show
rings and such company as he appeared
with is sufficient evidence that every
string was an honor proudly to be
worn.
AT Mexico, Mo-, in 1891, for best
saddle stallion 8 and under 4 years
old, took first premium One horse
alone shown in this ring had made Is
shows in like rings previous to this
and had not been beaten. Again the
same day he took first premium for
best saddle horse, mare or geldiug
over a large field and all good ones.
Also took same time and place first
premium in harness ring for 3-year-
Odds. Again at Fulton, Mo-, same
year, he took first premium rs best
saddle horse 8 and under 4, for best
sweepstake horse, mare or gelding and
second i'll harness ring. In all these
rings nothing but the very Dest APP
peared against him.
AS to breeding no Squirrel stands so
eminently above all others. His sire,
Black Squirrel, coming from the very
home of the saddle horsein Kentucky,
is without question the grandest horse
of the kind alive to-day. After re-
naming for years in Missouri, he was
re-purchased by his former owner and
taken back to Kentucky and is dis
tinguished by having his books full
for the present season at the highest
service fee of any saddle horse in the
world, $50. MISSOURI SQUIRRELS
dam, Dolly, has proven herself one of
the grandest producers of fine horses
in Missouri, she having produced not
winners in all regular rings and in
grand sweepstake rings at Mexico and
Fulton fairs. MISSOURI SQUIRREL is
eligible to registry in the National
Saddle Horse Registry and will be
registered in the future. He is a
black with white points, 16 hands
high, weighs about ], 100 pounds, foul
years old this spring.
