This great Imp. Percheron stallion
will make the present season of 1915
at my farm, 8 " miles from Stanford,
KY, on the Crab Orchard pike, at SIS
to insure a living colt. If mare is
sold or parted with after being bred
the season is then due. The utmost
care and attention will be given to
the breeding of mares, but will not
be responsible for accidents should
any occur.
Sir Ray is a beautiful chestnut
horse, z years old, 161s hands high,
weighing 1850 POUNDS; great style
and action. He is a great breeder
and sure foal getter. AS an individ-
ual and a breeder, he is in class by
himself. He has made two seasons
in this county, at Crab Orchard and
all of his colts are high class. Sir
Ray is by Honest Tom 407O1, and
is bred right all through.
