    The Horseman Pouter

    RE-ESTABLISHING OF EXTINCT BREEDS: THE HORSEMAN POUTER By: Axel Sell (Germany) Photo: Sytze de Bruine In the last decades some pigeon breeds that were extinct and only known from literature got a great revival. One of these breeds is the Pouting Horseman. The breed was still mentioned by WILLUGHBY 1676 as light horseman and as a cross- breed of the carrier and a pouter. The carrier was described as a medium sized pigeon with wattles at beak and eye ceres and may be considered a variant of the Turkish pigeon. This information is also given by ALBIN 1731-1738. MOORE 1735 preferred the idea of a cross between a carrier-like bird and a pouter. Both praise the ability "to pitch stray Pigeon that are at a Loss to find their own Home" (MOORE, p. 38). The Carrier-like pigeon from MOORE was describes as a second and different 'horseman'. This horseman resembles the carrier but is smaller in all its properties. According to MOORE it was a matter of dispute at his time whether it was an original breed or a bastard between a carrier and a tumbler or even a carrier and a pouter. For LEVI (1969, §74) with reference to other historical sources it was more probable that the horseman was nothing else than the ancestor of an improved carrier. In modern language we could say that the horseman was the old-fashioned carrier and Moore's highly esteemed carrier the modern carrier of the 1730s. For the author of these line it seems presumably that MOORE and his friends were so convinced that the carrier was of such an outstanding character that they could not believe in such a poor ancestry.
