FIG. XX.-GOOD TYPE OF DRAFT MARE
neck should be full as we'll as long.
The neck of a mare should not show
any tendency to the crest that marks
the stallion. Masculine characters in
mare or feminine characters in a
stallion indicate that they will not
make reliable or prepotent breeding
animals.
The shoulder should be neither too
straight nor too SlOping. A straight
shoulder interferes with action and is
usually associated with a Stubby pas
tern and generally with long back
as well. In light horses the more Stop
ing the shoulder the better. since this
conformation is favorable to long or
high action. In draft horses too slop
ing shoulder brings the point of draft
too high and may even cause the collar
to slip up and choke the animal. The
face of the shoulder should be broad
to give good bearing surface for the
collar. The top of the shoulder should
not be open or coarse and should blend
well into the back.
The back of the draft horse should
be as short as possible from the top of
the shoulders to the hips. short
coupled. compact horse can handle
himself better than one with a long.
loose coupled and often swayed back.
The ribs should be well sprung. long
and close together. The space between
the last rib and the pelvic bone should
not be over three or four inches. The
loin should be wide and heavily mus
cled. The region from the hips back,
called the Group. should be broad. long
and not too SlOping 1t is the hind
quarters that furnish the propelling
power, aud size and maSsiveneSs here
are all important points. The thighs
should be heavily muScled both inside
and out and should be broad when
viewed from the side. The muScling
on the inside of the thighs should ex-
tend well down.
Next in importance is constitution.
This is indicated by deep. wide chest,
a full fore flank, large nostrils and
deep barrel. A horse that is tucked up
in the hind flank tires easily and can
not be kept up in flesh when at work.
This is an especially bad fault in
brood mares.
Quality is very important, as 1t indi-
Gates endurance or staying power. A
small horse of good quality will do
more work than coarse, loosely put
together animal 500 pounds heavier.
Quality is indicated by fairly thin,
pliable Srin: fine. glossy hair; clean
ness OF head and clean legs. The ten
dons at the back of the legs should
stand out clearly. giving the canon a
fat appearance. There should be as
little meatiness as possible at the hook
and between the tendons and the
canon bone. The hOof should be of
dense. hard horn. and in hairy legged
breeds the feather should be fine and
silky
There is an old saying, mo foot no
horse" The feet and legs are very
important. since they must do the pro
polling and receive all the hard knocks
of heavy service. The forearm and
gaskin should be heavily muscled. The
muscles i'm these regions cannot be
easily covered with fat so their size is
an indication of the animals muscling
throughout. The forearm and gaskin
should be long as compared with the
canon, The pasterns should slope at
an angle OF about forty-6ve degrees
with the ground. A sloping pastern
