SHAPE AND ACTION
OF SADDLE HORSES
Lou Goinp Ones Hard to Sell,
Dealer Says.

Although persistent efforts have been
made for years at certain shows to
set up saddle horse with low action
as the right type for riding, dealers
and breeder says II Is just about as hard
as ever II was to sell one that cannot
DO anything" TO use a trade express
sion for the horse that lacks snap OF
the knee and spring of the hook.
"All such horses are at a discount
IN the market" VI. Il. Newcomb said
yesterday. Buyers who can afford TO
own the best don't want them at any
price. Even those who ride only for
air and exercise without caring much
about appearances viii usually reject a
low going horse that gives them little
assistance In shaking up their insidos +"
There is another point about n saddle
horse where n good many judges 70
wrong" continued Mr.. Newcomb. You
will see them put their hand on a
horses withers, and II he is low there
they sometimes give him the gate.
Now the height OF a horses withers
hasn't much, II anything. TO do with the
way he carries a saddle. It's all In the
muscles just behind the withers. II
they are full and run well back your
horse will carry his saddle In tho right
place. On the other hand, n he is
poorly muscled or hollow there the
saddle Will work too far forward. no
magter how high his withers may be.
It's the high withered. hollow backed
horse that Is always getting CALLED. An
other thing high withers and sloping
shoulders don't always 20 together. as
some people seem 70 think they do. a
horse with low withers. and not thin ones
either, may have his shoulder blades
iait on as oblldue as any you ever
sa~ and may give you as good a ride.
while many a horse with high withers
has straight shoulders. which unfit

Cossack hetmen who are identified
with the history Of Little Russia. The
