Try to Have
What You Want.

Good judgment in breeding and a knowl-
edge of how others succeed is safer than ex-
pertinent based on imagination or say so."
If sound, kind, handsome, fearless, pure gait
ed, speedy road and family horses are what
you want to breed. be very particular in the
selection of the stallion, and see that he shows
all of these qualities in himself. See him in
stable and harness, and also that these quail
tiles have been transmitted to him in TN
broken lines from his ancestors, and are be-
ing transmitted by him to his stock as fami-
1y characteristics.
Such stallion is Dandy Lambert. His
sire AriStos son of the great Daniel Lam
bert was one of the grandest horses ever in
Vermont. Of him the Morgan Register
says: ale carries himself proudly and
moves with the precision of machinery"
His record (2.27) is no measure of his speed;
% Of his sons and daughters have records Of
2.30 or better; "A of his sons have sired
2.30 performers, and 13 of his daughters have
produced 2.30 performers. This 2.30 list
would have been much larger if his colts had
not heen in such demand as roadsters, and as
such too valuable for sacrifice on the trotting
track. Pure gait and perfect kindness are as
natural as breath itself to these horses. We
gladly show Dandy Lambert and his stock
or refer to his full list of patrons.
