Mrs Wadsworth Named Specialist in Horse Husbandry
Washington, D. C. Mrs Herbert Wadsworth, a noted horsewoman, is appointed a specialist in horse husbandry by the United States Department of Agriculture. She will continue work with Genesee Valley Horse Breeders Association, organize by herself, and manage an 11,000 acre estate while aiding farmers to raise better horses. Her efforts have improved breeding, with high quality stallions and mares lent to farmers, and she has also helped market high-class animals. The Genesee Valley association’s work surpasses similar efforts nationally, officials say, and Livingston County fair prizes reflect the success of breeding programs. Wadsworth’s long rides, including a 1910 212-mile world record, demonstrate skill as a horsewoman alongside her practical extension work.
