make him think gray horse is not a

that gray horses were not up to the
standard, or words to that effect.

have always thought, and do now,
that gray or white horses were the

The celebrated Arabian horses are
white or dapple gray. Famous gen

or iron gray chargers. Circus men
select gray horses to draw the band

packing company always selects Per
