Castleman Is one Of the best hOrsemen
OF the nation. and his remarks WERE
therefore. listened to with close atten-
ton. Any horse, he said, that a saddle
was placed upon was called saddle
horse and any horses that was driven
was called road horse. But the road
horse sprung from the HambletoniQn

describe the American saddle horse.
characterIzing him as an animal OF
grace beauty and endurance The Con-
federate war had proved him 10 be the
best cavalry horse In the history OF the
world. History affords no parallel OF
the speed and endurance sustained bg
the American horses under General
