A wide-ranging Blue Book, including a short article on Palominos of California, one on The California Stock Horse, and much more on hunting than usual. Contains the usual summaries of all recognized horse shows in the United States, awards, champions and reserve champions, "stars of the season," appointments, recognized hunts, list of exhibitiors and farm names, etc. Covers chiefly Saddlebred and Hackney showing, also hunter-jumper classes and steeplechasing. Texts on hunting in Genesee, Canada, and around Philadelphia; some hunting tunes. Photos of the Meadowbrook Hounds followed by the "gallant greys," and of Harriet Wadsworth jumping sidesaddle in beautiful form. A wonderful resource!
