Have times changed!

I guess the number produced is probably in line with the number produced when people aren't breeding FOR them. If we only have a relative h andful of 30,000 or so born here than with only 3,000 (TBs) a white would be rare indeed esp. with the prejudice against excessive white back then.

Very interesting find Jorge!

P.S. Who wants to be the bay draught mare was a Clydesdale? Nobody?

Want to acknowledge that this reference was sent to me, thanks to the fine solicitude of a very good friend, author and connoisseur. It's always a privilege to receive those quite interesting references from yesteryears.
All the Best,
