Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Morgan Horse and Register, Vol. 3: Containing the Names, Morgan Rating, Rule by Which Admitted, and in Case of Stallion Number of All Horses Registered Up to the Time Registrations Were Begun in Volume IV Some few mistakes have been corrected in the addenda and a few horses omitted from the body of the book may there be found. As the United States Government has undertaken the breeding of the Morgan horse on its farm, the U. S. Morgan Horse Farm, Weybridge, Vt., attention has again been directed to the Morgan family of horses and their many good qualities are being recognized. This has increased the demand for Morgans and more individuals are being registered. Most Fairs now have classes for Morgans. Through the efforts of the author in tracing out several branches of the Morgan family, among which are the American Stars, Copper bottoms and Tom Hals, the Morgan blood is found to be very extensively distributed. In fact many of our fastest trotters and pacers have a large percentage of Morgan blood and many of them are, or can be, registered. It will be seen that the rules now in force are slightly different from those given in Volume II. This is especially true of the second rule. The table of standard performers which was begun in Volume II. Pages 415-449, and which included horses whose names begin with the letter A, has not been continued in this volume for lack of space. This table is of interest, as it shows how extensively the Morgan blood is disseminated in speed lines. Most of the illustrations are half-tones made from photographs, and are true to life. A careful examination of these pictures will convince one of the many good qualities of the Morgan horse.
