Aid to Thoroughbred Stallions Policy Gains Approval
The department of agriculture initiates a memorandum of understanding offering aid under strict conditions to owners of thoroughbred stallions. The program rewards quality and soundness, aims to improve Canadian light horse stock, and discourages unsuitable sires while promoting a useful breed type. It declines encouraging broader breeding without limits.

Canadian plan to subsidize thoroughbred stallions for light harness stock
The Department of Agriculture, led by Martin Burrell, will continue subsidies in 1912 for thoroughbred stallions standing for public service that meet set conditions. Eligible horses must be registered, of good conformation, and free from hereditary defects, with annual veterinary examinations. Approved stallions may advertise service to mares at up to ten dollars, payable only if mares prove in foal, with a yearly subsidy of two hundred fifty dollars to owners upon proof of mares served. Forms are available from the veterinary director general and livestock commissioner in Ottawa.
