label: Description
content: A black and white broadside advertising that the horse St. Patrick will stand for stud. The print depicts a man standing in a pasture holding a horse by the reins. He wears boots, long pans, a jacket, and cap. Three horseback riders ride past prosperous farm buildings in background. The two story house has a widow’s walk.
label: Description
content: St. Patrick was foaled in 1830 by the Marquis of Donegal from Richmond and a mare by Challenger. He was imported from Ireland to Rotterdam, New York. His background is debated, however, since he is not listed in the Wallace American Stud Book or among imported stallions. It is possible that St. Patrick’s Irish beginnings may have been a fraud for the purpose of increasing the stud fee.
