The Clydesdale Stud-Book, Vol. 4 by Clydesdale Horse Society Pdf
Excerpt from The Clydesdale Stud-Book, Vol. 4: Containing Pedigrees of Mares Having Produce Previous to 1st January, 1882, and Stallions Foaled Before 1st January, 1881; With Three Appendices, and a List of the Members of the Clydesdale Horse Society as at 10th February, 1882 A noticeable feature in this volume is the number of entries made by American owners. Horses will not now be purchased by American and Colonial buyers unless registered; hence the importance to breeders of stud-book registration. The number of breeders who have registered in this volume for the first time is considerable, and the addition to the Society's membership during the year has been very encouraging. The Obituary column, now introduced for the first time, should be of much value to Breeders, because they will be able by it to check the possibility of fraud in giving the name of a dead animal as sire or dam of stock offered for sale. Such cases have occasion ally come under the notice of the Committee, and in the compilation of the Retrospective Volume it was frequently found that when all other means of weighing evidence failed the age test settled the point. Dates of death and exportation should be as carefully noted as dates of birth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
