The American thoroughbred Is de-
scended from the English thorough
bred, and the latter is made up by
blood almost wholly from Arabian,
Turk or Barb stock. The English
stud book for thoroughbreds Is not
open to any horse that has had an out.
cross of common blood during the
past hundred years or more, and 1t
Is doubtful II one having an out-cross
$50 years back would be recorded. A
reference to the lists of horses In Eng.

thoroughbred was brought to the front
will show that the originators de-
pended almost entirely on the horses
brought from the orient, and OF the
three general classes mentioned.
The Americans have greatly i'm.
proved on the original thoroughbreds
by selecting and to some extent by
crossing with Arabian horses Of fine
type. This practice has not been
common OF late years. for our breed.
ers have formed the opinion that they
can do little more for the breed by
importing Arabian horses. By selec.

danger of deteriorating It,
The American trotting horse was
developed from the thoroughbred, or
rather as a strain of the thoroughbred.
