MISSOURI SQUIRREL.

In presenting MISSOURI SQUIRREL
to the public this season, / 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
matter of chance, but a fact established
by the saying, 'iike 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 w horse is
not over-rated, ] 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 3 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 gelding
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, No., same
wear, he took first premium as best
saddle horse 8 and under 4, for best
sweepstake horse, mare or gelding and
second i'm harness ring. In all these
rings nothing but the very pest 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
Te-purchased by his former owner and
taken back to Kentucky and is dis
tinguished by having his books full
j, , for the present season al the highest
> service fee of any saddle horse in the
dam, Dolly, has proven herself n OF
i the grandest producers of fine horses
S in Missouri, she having produced not
less than foul colts that have been
winners in all regular rings and In
grand sweepstake rings at Mexico and
. Fulton fairs. MISSOURI SQUIRREL is
= eligible to registry in the National
e Saddle Horse Registry and will be
registered in the hear future. He is a
black with white points, 16 hands
S high, weighs about 100 pounds, four
3 years old this spring.
