ENGLISH WISDOM ABOUT STALLIONS. Personally, if I wereugivWmy choice of two stallions, one which had distinguished himself over long distances and had the reputation of being a stayer rather than a speedy sort, and another which had shown equally smart form over a mile. I think I should prefer the latter. Our experience of. modern thoroughbred stallions tells us that it is not the plodders who make the best stud horses, but rather the quick ones, -who seem to have a greater spark ot vital energy or nervous force call It what you will which enables them to cot more racing-like stock than the slower horses.
