Dear Miss Grey-The state
ment regarding full
blooded" and "thorobred" is
trifle misleading. All au-
thorities l have read on this
subject say that the name
thorobred Is now almost uni
versally applied to the breed
of running or race, horses,
which first reached q high
state of development in Eng
land and whica are now bred
so widely and In such petfeo-
ti0n In this country. On the
other hand, as l have UNDER
stood, we may speak OF a
full-blooded horse of any
breed, whether Percheron,
Clydesdale, or even a Shet-
land pony, so that 1t be of
blood with regard to its own
breed. l understand, of
course, that the two terms
are sometimes used inter-
changeably, but "thorobred"
had gradually become a
breed name, whereas full
blooded" is not a breed name.
