In all the veterinary treatises and papers which I have read, the writers insist in the strongest terms on the inheritance by the horse of all good and bad tendencies and qualities. Perhaps the principle of inheritance is not really stronger in the horse than in any other animal; but, from its value, the tendency has been more carefully observed. [13] Andrew Knight crossed breeds so different in size as a dray-horse and Norwegian pony: _see_ A. Walker on ‘Intermarriage,’ 1838, p. 205. [14] ‘Nat. Library, Horses,’ vol. xii. p. 208.

Martin, (‘The Horse,’ 1845, p. 34), in arguing against the belief that the wild Eastern horses are merely feral, has remarked on the improbability of man in ancient times having extirpated a species in a region where it can now exist in numbers.
