- INCB American bred and American
u schooled horses have captured blue
~ ribbons galore wilhelm competition
with the equine aristocrats of the United
Kingdom at the late International Show
In London, the Show Horse Is more prom
inentiy In the eye Of lovers Of horse
flesh today than ever before. By rShow
Horse Is meant the very highest type
OF horse-a horse which years of pains
taking care on the part of breeders has
finally produced, and one which months
and, In some instances, years of patient
handling and training has been required
to bring to that degree OF perfection as
regards manners, gait. action and con-
formation. all SO necessary to horse's
success In the show ring.
Once more American brains and Amer
lean dollars a combination so well calcu-
lated to overcome all obstacles, have
triumphed and now we can boast OF a
horse which the experts of all countries
have pronounced to be the very highest
type of horsehesh ever exhibited In a tan
bark enclosure. With the English hack
ney for n basis to work upon judicious
commingiing of blood has wrought most
remarkable evolution in the park horse
Of our large cities. The hackney, crossed
with the best blood lines of the Ken
tucky roadster, and, later, with, those Of
the Morgan strain, gives us today horse
possessing courage conformation, man
ners. speed, action, beauty and breeding
which combination has amply fitted him
for O journey across the seas, there to
sweep everything before him in the vari-
Gus classes In which he competed.
1t required years and years of study
to accomplish this feat, and to Henry
Fairfax, Of Virginia. more credit is due,
perhaps. than to any other importer and
breeder OF hackneys In this country. Mrl
Fairfax ls the pioneer In this undertake
ing, and after expending fortune TO
this end, his efforts have at last been
crowned with success. and he has lived
to reap the harvest he SO richly deserves
Each year are held, In various parts of
the East, scores of Horse Shows, all of
more or less Importance to the breeder
and fancier; some Of national and even
international significance. This Is the
season Of the open air show; those de-
lightful functions where, amid pictur-
esque settings. the show ring Is pitched.
and about these arenas hundreds of beau
tifulyI gowned women and well groomed
men ate wont together to pay homage to
the thoroughbred. This Is horsey age, and
It Is nb longer vulgar to be horsey, and
these qeyotees OF the show ring of today
are th0hpughly au fait with the horse in
all his &varying moods and lenses, and
can at "a glance take In his every good
point ~ defect

Los Angeles herald., 1907-09-01

Newport, Boston, Plainfeld. Morristown,
Orange, Tuxedo, Rutland and Atlantic
City all hold out of door shows, and each
is of vast Importance to the exhibitor
who, In nearly every instance, completes
the circuit OF course, there are hun
dreds of shows elsewhere, such as those
given throughout Virginia, but nearly all
of these are of more or less local signi-
hcance, as In the latter state ninety per
cent of the exhibits are Virginia bred,
and, In consequence, the hunter and sad
die types predominate. The Middle and
Ear West all have their shows, too, but
since Chicago has failed to make Its horse
show the success 1t should be, Western
breeders must depend entirely upon the
East as the scene of their horses sue
cesses.
With the approach of fall, however. the
final test comes, the survival of the fit
test as 1t were, and then the horses that
have met with success at the open shows
are carefully prepared for the seasons
climax, the Madison Square Garden show,
New York, where the National Horse
Show Association annually holds the
greatest show ON earth. The Interna-
tional Horse Show, recently held in Lon
don. where American horses established
such unbroken records for ribbons won,
has spurred Americans on to renewed
this country Is to be the scene of the
international show, and 1t is needless to
assert that new era will then dawn for
breeder and fancier on this side Of the
Atlantic.
The vanderbslts.
with such events as these as an in
centive, 1t is little wonder that millions
of dollars are annually expended on horse
flesh. and 1t will doubtless prove inter
esting to gain more intimate acquaint-
ance with the thoroughbred In his winter
quarters. Reginald c. and his brother,
Alfred G. Vanderbilt, beyond doubt head
the list of sportsmen who breed, own,
train and exhibit show horses on the
American and European circuits. Both
are enthusiastic and accomplished whips
and concentrate all their energies, as
well as many thousands of dollars, to-
wards producing the ideal show horse,
fitted for all harness classes. Neither.
strange to say, cares for the saddle type,
but delight In drawing the rein over any
thing from single park hackney to an
eight In hand II needs be. 1t Is conser-
vntiyely estimated that each spends
$500, 900 year toward tho maintenance
of his respective stable. Reginald Van
derblit's Sandy Point Farm, situated but
a short distance from Newport, r. l., Is
by long odds the most extensive and
palatal breeding establishment In the
world There William Bone. his stable

dollar imported hackney stallion, heads
the stud, and through him Mr.. Wander
bilt hopes within few years to exhibit
none but his home bred product With
proper care in the selection of his mares
he will ere long elevate the standard OF
all classes of harness horses in America,
for competition In show horses Is so keen
that other breeders and fanciers will be
quick to follow his lead and set up their
own studs.
The Ideal type for the heavy harness
horse, the one which all breeders are
striving to produce, should not be under
fifteen hands for mature horses; smooth,
compact and symetrical In conforma-
ton; neck of good length, inclined nat
urally to arch; soping shoulders; well
set legs, of medium length; sloping past
erns and good feet; short, strong back;
well sprung barrel or middle; we'll ribbed
up to coupling; smooth loins full fanks;
straight Group, with well set tail aud
full round buttocks.
With this as the standard, years OF ex-
perimenting have been indulged In by the
most scientific Of our breeders, and. at
last, Mr.. Vanderbilt believes that he has
struck the happy medium. In Doctor
Selmonk," the champion harness horse of
America, all the best points striven
for are combined. In conformation. quail
ity and action he is the best horse in
America. today, and many experts go so
far as to declare him to be the best horse
in the world. There are points In which
Selmonk especially excels and these are
his beauty of top line, from ears to dock.
and his perfection OF hind parts. which
might almost serve as model of the
ideal heavy harness horse. His pose at
rest, and his poise In action are likewise
superb. When you see him at his best
you see the high bred, high mettled aris-
tocratic horse par excellence. Few thor
oughbreds, or Arabs, have coats 80 fne
and lustrous. Courage and gameness are
expressed In every movement and he has
that indescribable dash and style, without
which, according to American notions. no
show horse of any type is truly great.
Sandy Point Farm is beautifully located
and every accessory necessary to the
breeding, training and schooling Of the
show horse Is there to be found. An Inn
mense pavilion, whose floor space is near
ly as great as that Of Madison Square
Garden, has been erected and this Is the
vast schoolroom IN which the youthful
candidates for ribbons receive their In
structlons. No horse leaves the farm for
the show circuit until he has been pro.
nounced we'll nigh perfect by the large
corps OF experts to whose care his school
ing has been entrusted. A small army Of
attendants is here employed. Coachmen.
grooms, whips. farriere and veterin0rians,
all experts In their respective vocations,
are called upon TO pass Judgment on the
embryo debutantes, and then the fnal
test is made By Mr.. Bone, the stable man
Los Angeles herald., 1907-09-01

ager, In the presence of Mr.. Vanderbilt.
When Bone says horse Is ht Mr.. Van
derbilt has no hesitancy In including him
in the string of seasoned campaigners
that start out in quest Of ribbons, cups
and glory.
How Horses Are Trained.
Months Of careful training are required
to perfect the knee and hook action Of
the latter day harness horse. First the
candidate Is logged over a track, over
which, ut regular intervals, are laid bars,
or fence rails, which obstacles tend to re-
quire the horse not only to carefully pick
bis way, but to lift his feet and In time
1t will become second nature with him to
pick up his feet to the proper height. OF
course scientific shoeing and proper Bit
ting and booting greatly aid in this arti-
fetal action, and, once acquired, never
ceasing care must be exercised to see
that the horse does not overdo 1t, as too
much action Is quite as fatal to his
chances In the ring as too little. With
the action fully developed the next step
is towards developing speed. for now
adays the horse that is put through his
PAGES In the show ring must do so at
speed of at least mile In four minutes,
and even faster II he can maintain 1t.
With hundred or more horses of this
character in his string some small idea OF
the expense attached to transporting and
exhibiting the Vanderbilt string ean be
formed. 1t requires groom to each
horse and this average does not include
the small army of attendants required to
care for the carriages and various equi-
pages used In the ring. or the squad that
Is constantly employed In the harness
room, whose labors there are apparently
never ending. The gold mounted harness
in the Vanderbilt and Hartman stables
require quite as much attention as the
silyerware and toilet articles on my lady's
buffet and dressing table Each horse has
his own trunk, In which are kept his
blankets, sheets, hoods, leggings, boots,
ETC.; the sum annually expended for the
same being sufficient TO laRishly dress the
most fastidious Of our young men Of
fashion.
The combined value Of cash and plate
prizes won by the most persistent Of our
exhibitors would not pay the feed bills
for horses and grooms while on the cir
cult.
Coaching.
Alfred Vanderbilt is IN ardent coacher,
and while he owns and exhibits harness
horses of all types he deyotes his best
energies toward developing the best road

Bought by King Edward.
When Mr.. Vanderbilt returned from Eu-
rope 1t became known for the first time
that two of his prize winning high step
pers had been purchased by England's
sovereign, just as the string was being
prepared for its homeward journey. The
animals sold were King Edward and King
James, pair Of typical state coach horses
1862 hands high. George D. King, of Spring
boro, Pa, bred the pair and sold them to-
Mr.. Vanderbilt two years ago and since
then they have met with unqualified sue
cess In the show ring. On the occasion
OF her visit to the recent exhibition at
Olympia, Queen Alexandra saw the horses
and SO admired them for their stately
carriage that she urged her consort TO
purchase them. Sir Henry Bwart. the
Kings Equerry. then opened negotiations
and the day prior to the date set for
sailing the sale was consummated.
In purchasing this pair Edward paid a
delicate compliment to his new ally,
France, as well as to America, since both
horses are by the imported French
coacher, Troarn. himself prize winner
at Madison Square Garden and many
other good shows. Since retiring from tho
ring Troarn has sired number of rib
boners.

that are applied to the qualified hunter.
Saddle Horses.
One Of the prettiest ana showiest Of all
classes Is that for saddle horses and one
that is receiving even more attention this
year than heretofore. So far, It has fallen
to the lot of a new conner In the show
ring to carry of the honors OF the season.
This debutant is Rufus L. Patterson, q
North Carolinian by birth, but New
Yorker by adoption, because Of his az
filiation with the American Tobacco Com
pany, of which corporation he is secre-
tary. Mr.. Patterson has trio of beau
ties In jasmine Corotoman and Durham,
each champion In his and her respec-
tive class. Jasmine Is one of the daintiest
and most beautiful mares that ever
picked her way across show ring. Coro-
toman is yet q youngster, but there was
never more beautiful chestnut shown
beneath the pigskin than this sturdy and
blue blooded young Virginian. It Is safe
to predict that when Corotoman and Dur
ham reach the Madison Square Garden
Show this fall each will have met with
the success that has already crowned
Jasmine's efforts. Both Jasmine and
Corotoman are likely to lower the colors
of Mrs. w. Stanton Elliot's beautiful
Judge CantrilI, whose photograph adorns
this page. Although an ardent admirer
OF saddle horses Mr.. Patterson does not
ride his own entries, and in consequence
