I was interested to note that some 53 years ago Hatton was already prompted to write: "It is often deplored by our breeders that soundness and disposition are becoming increasingly rare qualities in our modern day thoroughbred."
"He is pure air and fire and the dull elements of earth and water never appear in him; he is indeed a horse ..." Wm. Shakespeare - Henry V
