Breeding War Horses Stir Debate in Victoria Remount Plans
A Victorian public letter weighs the value of Arab stallions versus roadster and thoroughbred sires for war remounts. Inspector Beckwith and Colonel Tom Price advocate disciplined breeding, with Mr Day of England stressing match mares to Norfolk or Suffolk roadsters for uniformity. The writer cites past imports, calls for a proper breeding system, and warns against random bloodlines to avoid costly collapse of horse quality in South African campaigns.
