THE GUNNER TYPE OE HORSE. A feature, of the horse purchasing transactions of the war has been the eagerness of Government buyers to secure the gunner type of horse found on many Lakland fell farms (says a Home paper). These animals, which represent perhaps two-thirds of Clydesdale blood on a fel? opny foundation, are stoutly built, run from 15 to 16 hands high, and it is claimed they are more active and enduring, and can maintain their condition on less food than the Clydesdale or Shire. They make excellent artillery horses, and it is noteworthy that England, the stud farm of the world, has no pure breed that fulfils all requirements as a gun horse, the heavy breeds being too sluggish and the Mght breeds too light. As three or four horses are required for the artillery and transport for one for the cavalry, this points to ! th need of a new breed. The type preferred by the artillery officer is the heavv-weight hunter—an animal who may'be described as the battle cruiser of the horse world, a maximum combination of speed and strength, uniting much of the fleetness of the racer. Th e English IG-stone hunter is probably the most useful all round, general utility horse in the world; he is as good for the gun, and the plough, as i for the saddle.
