BREEDING LIGHT HORSES.
IS,IT BEING NEGLECTED? '
Commenting on the fact that some of ; the light horses exhibited at the Raiigitifcei show were lacking in type, character, and quality, one of the visiting horse judges deplored the fact that horse-breed-ing in New Zealand is being neglected. They,heard that the motor was ousting the horse, and this was set up as a reason ■ for the falling-off, but the real reason was that horse-breeding did not pay as' well as cattlo. or sheep-raising. Th 6 right class of horse, said the judge ,in question, was wanted as much to-day as ever, 'and in 'the future, it would be ' wanted still more. Personally, he thought a real good type of hunter or remount horse should be encouraged as a necessity, and ho was sorry to havS to say that too many owners were selling good fillies instead of keeping them to breed from.
