On her sire's side containing the blood of Hamiltonian 10 and Abdellah 15. On her dam Blackhawk by Sherman Morgan. Here we have a strong mingling of Ethan Allen and Blackhawk blood—inbred Morgan upon Morgan—giving results that leave nothing to be desired. The same is true in the case of the mother of Columbia Girl, the greatest harness mare ever shown in Mis- souri, where the blood of Rattler Morgan was mingled with that of Ethan Allen through Reade. We need not multiply examples to prove our theory. The fact is where Reade has been bred to mares with an infusion of thor- oughbred blood—not too close up—or to mares of Morgan ancestry, there has uniformly resulted a harness horse of good size, magnifi- cent presence, high action and speed. They have been of the heavy harness type demanded by the best trade and have won honors in the shows all over the United States. So strong is the power of Charles Reade to impress his indi- viduality upon his get that they constitute a distinct family recog- nizable wherever seen. They are a Missouri family of horses of which the State should be proud, and while Reade is no longer young, he possesses the vitality of his youth and gives promise of many years of use- fulness in the stud. With better mares he will get better colts, and the "Reades" of Missouri may yet make Kentucky look to her laurels as a horse breeding STUDENTS JUDGING Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Missouri.
