In Passing let us give a moment of adulation to THE HORSE. How vitally has he been a part of the history, wars and romance of nations. With that intrepid courage has he stormed over the most sanguinary battlefields! What wise or stupid or or tyrannical rulers has he served with equal patience, endurance and steadfastness? What great lovers has he borne swiftly to their tryst? But a few years gone we were told that the day approached that marked his banishment from those realms wherein he has reigned supreme for thousands of years, and lo! he is now even more securely enthroned. smiled and opened a when she gave to man THE HORSE. Should we not cherish him, nourish his fiery strength, him to sweet water, and when his eyes have dimmed and only his great heart leaps with undying ardor, humbly care for him until he reaches that pasture of eternal green that God reserved for man’s noblest friend.

Introduction - A Horse is a Horse By Kristina Adams, Technical Information Specialist USDA. NAL. Animal Welfare Information Center.

The U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the National Agricultural Library (NAL) got underway in the late 1800’s, when horsepower was at its height to assist farmers. Consequently, NAL contains many books and other collections related to horses. This bibliography on horses in history is an attempt to give the reader an idea of the nature and scope of these collections. It does not list every title and collection on horses in the library, but tries to list some of the more important ones. The collection includes books on the history of different breeds, breeding techniques, farrier or blacksmith skills, health and veterinary medicine, and general horsemanship. Additionally, many texts contain beautiful drawings and pictures or original poems. Some of the texts are now digitized and being made available through such sources as the National Agricultural Library Digital Collections (NALDC), Google Book Search, and the Internet Archive. When possible, links to the digitized versions are provided.

Note: This introduction is not meant to be comprehensive. Rather, it touches on some of the interesting information about horses that the compilers learned while exploring the NAL collection.

Early History

Studies about the of the horse helped shape our understanding of long-term evolution in an animal species.1,2 Horses were first domesticated in the central Eurasian about 6000 years ago according to estimations. Archaeologists found early dating to 4000 BC in Eastern as well as antler cheek-pieces and toggles for mouth pieces north of the Black Sea. Initially, these animals were used for food but at some point their strength was directed towards being led carrying goods, ridden to help hunt game and engage in warfare, and driven to work in the fields.3 By 500 BC, horses and their ability to carry men great distances at a quick speed had begun making their way into legend.

In the Near East, small horses were used for pulling and carrying goods. Most horse people will tell you that these Arabian horses were the first modern riding horse, although the ’s exact origins remain a mystery. Marguerite Henry’s tale of the in King of the Wind,4 highlighted the stamina, spirit, and intelligence of these horses. While some authors, such as Spencer Borden5 and Ridgeway6 suggested that Arabians originated in Africa (Libya specifically), it is commonly believed that Arabians were developed by nomadic Bedouin people in desert environments somewhere on the . Bedouin horse kept meticulous records of their horses in to keep bloodlines pure.

One of the oldest texts providing a complete discourse on horse care, health, and training was written by between the years 431 and 350 BC in Greece. The title is translated into English as “On Horsemanship”7 and the information he provided, although geared toward the development of warhorses, continues to serve as a basis for horse selection, management and training today in all areas of horsemanship. Xenophon’s love and respect for horses was evident in

http://www.nal.usda.gov/awic/pubs/HorseHistory/intro.shtml[9/1/2015 11:56:56 AM] Horses in History Bibliography, Introduction: Animal Welfare Information Center

his writings. For example, a translation of one of his writings is “A horse is a thing of beauty... none will tire of looking at him as long as he displays himself in his splendor.”

Note: Since Xenophon’s time, many other books have been written about the selection, training, and care of horses. Texts of authors such as Margaret Cabell Self (horseback riding), James Harvey Sanders and John Wall (), Daniel Rupp, W.C. Spooner and Edward Snape (farriery), and John Henry Walsh and Wiliam Youatt (horse health and care) are available in the collection of the National Agricultural Library.

Riding horses opened up the world to humans who could now travel further and faster than they could while using an -. Horses played a role in the ability of Alexander the Great and his armies to conquer millions of square miles between 330 and 323 BC. Alexander the Great’s horsemanship skills were well known. In one story, vividly retold in the 1979 movie The Black (based on a Walter Farley book8 by the same name), horse traders brought a fiery horse named Bucephalus into a ring to be shown as a prospect to King Philip II, Alexander the Great’s father.9 King Philip expressed no interest after seeing the , but Alexander asked for the horse if he could tame it. Amid much laughter from the crowd, Alexander soothed the The Taming of horse, tamed it, and together they survived many battles. Bucephalus by Andre Castaigne

Horse Collars and

During the Medieval period, people increasingly used horses for ploughing at the same time they continued riding them. During this period, horsemen developed a few items that are indispensible today, including the , , and nailed . The stirrup provided extra security and comfort for the rider, the horse collar allowed horses to pull loads with great efficiency, and the nailed horseshoe permitted riders to travel large distances. Horses were important to individuals and entire countries in terms of their use in warfare, transport and agriculture, and remained unrivaled until the invention of the steam engine and later, automobiles.

European horses were heavier than their desert counterparts. These larger breeds were used for ploughing fields and pulling . They were hardy animals who could withstand the cold, damp climate of northern Europe. Arab warriors began arriving in Europe to spread the word of the Prophet Mohammed around 600 AD. Soon after, Arabian horses began breeding with heavier European breeds. The mix of lighter breeds with the heavier plough horses resulted in horses that were heavy enough to carry heavily armored riders into war and agile enough to move gracefully and quickly during battle. Horses at this time were often described by their use rather than their breed.

American Working Horses

Early in the exploration of the Americas (beginning with Columbus' voyage in 1493), Iberian horses arrived on Spanish galleons.10 Some of these barb horses escaped and became . Today's relatives of these escapees are the found in the western .

Later, when European settlers began arriving in the Americas, they brought with them, among other things, horses. Due mostly to weight and size limitations imposed by ships, these early horses tended to be small or medium-sized. Larger draft horses from Europe began being imported from Europe to the Americas in the middle of the 19th Century. The first set of draft horses to arrive were imported from Normandy, France to a Mr. Edward Harris of New Jersey.11 These horses were smaller , a breed that originated in Le Perche, France. In a letter reproduced in “The Horse in America,” Mr. Harris describes the fair in Normandy where he found and purchased the Percherons. Mr. Harris’ horses and their offspring were bred, sold and used by farmers who valued their weight and strength. Following the success of these horses in America, during the 1870s and 1880s, thousands of draft horses of various breeds began arriving, mostly from France and Great Britain.

Horses and the U.S. Department of Agriculture

In the United States, ranchers, farmers, armies, and other people requiring transportation between locations depended on horses. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) maintained breeding herds of horses on experiment stations throughout the early part of the 20th Century. These programs bred horses as mounts for the military 12 (remount horses) and in an effort to preserve American breeds of horses, such as the Morgan, American Saddle horses, and the .13 The research stations also conducted experiments on reproduction, nutrition, growth and development, and athletic performance (as measured by endurance and speed trials)

http://www.nal.usda.gov/awic/pubs/HorseHistory/intro.shtml[9/1/2015 11:56:56 AM] Horses in History Bibliography, Introduction: Animal Welfare Information Center

of horses.14,15

Originally started by the USDA's Bureau of Animal Industry in 1912 in cooperation with the War Department, the remount program produced good light-type horses suitable for riding that were useful for and light artillery use.16 Most of the horses in the program were , American Saddlebreds, , and Morgans. The remount program focused its activities on acquiring sound, studbook-registered and breeding them to select . Congress transferred the remount horse to the War Department in 1920.17

In 1907, the USDA established the U.S. in Middlebury, Vermont on land donated by Colonel Joseph Battell for the purpose of perpetuating and improving the Morgan breed. After acquiring a group of mares and stallions, the farm began breeding horses, recording pedigrees, and measuring the performance of individuals in each generation. The breeding program aimed to produce horses that were “sound, sturdy, active, well-mannered individuals, capable of performing well either under saddle or in harness.18 Speed and endurance were of particular importance. The horses bred by the USDA became know as Government Morgans and their relatives are still bred by Morgan sport-horse breeders today. The Morgan Horse Farm Morgan Stallion was transferred from the USDA to the Vermont Agricultural College (now the Troubador of University of Vermont) in 1951 by Public Law 26 (S. 271), approved by Willowmoor* Congress on May 7, 1951.

The U.S. Range Experiment Station in Miles City, became the second Government Morgan Horse breeding program and also bred draft horses, Thoroughbreds, and crosses. In 1924, an act of Congress created the station19 when the Military Reservation was transferred from the War Department to the USDA. Between 1925 and 1935, the station produced 93 Morgans, 77 Morgan-grade crosses, and 1 Morgan-.20 In addition to the breeding program, the station conducted studies on the reproduction of horses. Researchers examined fertility in mares, the use of chemical tests to detect pregnancy in mares, and semen production in stallions and jacks. Scientists at the station conducted early experiments on the collection and storage of semen and subsequent techniques.21 In

1940, one (Irma) in Miles City, Montana was bred with semen shipped by airplane from Beltsville, .22 The U.S. Range Livestock Experiment Station in Miles City, Montana dispersed its Morgan breeding program after 1935 and maintained a Thoroughbred breeding herd until 1964. Breeding of Belgian and other draft horses also ceased although it is unclear exactly when.

After funding for horse breeding programs ended in the 1950s and 1960s, horse and activities of the USDA were limited to a small nutrition project in Beltsville, Maryland, a cooperative project with mules in Tennessee, and to the answering of routine correspondence with farmers and the general public. A 1951 USDA Bureau of Animal Industry publication discussing the Fiscal Year 1951 stated that “Although horse numbers have declined materially in recent years in the United States, numerous requests for information on them are received each year since they continue to be maintained on 60 percent of the and in this country and have an inventory value in excess of $300,000,000.00.”23

Census Information

In 1911, the Department of Agriculture reported the total number of horses in the United States to be over 23 million.24 1927 statistics indicated that the aggregated value of horses and mules was more than one-fourth the estimated value of all livestock and that in seven states, the value of horses and mules exceeded that of all other livestock combined. Interestingly enough, the 1926 Yearbook of Agriculture reported that horses were worth less that year than in any of the prior 60 years.25 The decrease in horse numbers and value was attributed to the popularity of the automobile and auto truck following the end of the first World War. Cars and trains became more important modes of transportation, especially after World War II as the changes in industrial processes marched on and horses became less important to the economy. In 1946, Americans owned only 8 million horses, the smallest number in 75 years. The last USDA horse census was taken in 1959 and counted only 4.5 million horses. By the late 1960s, however, the number of horses had risen again to more than 7 million. A 1968 article in Time magazine26 suggested that as horses became less important as modes of transportation or as useful agricultural animals, they became a new status symbol for suburbinites to own. This led to the breeding and development of sport horses which required different characteristics than agricultural animals. In general, sport horses over the last 50 years have been bred for easy-going temperaments and athletic ability, depending on the sport.27

Today, many Americans still keep horses for racing, showing, competition, sport, breeding, recreation, and work. A study released in 2005 by the American Horse Council reported that there 28 http://www.nal.usda.gov/awic/pubs/HorseHistory/intro.shtml[9/1/2015 11:56:56 AM] Horses in History Bibliography, Introduction: Animal Welfare Information Center

were 9.2 million horses in the US. Horses remain a pastime for many Americans even if their role in transportation, war, and farming has diminished. For this reason, in 2006 the Animal Welfare Information Center (AWIC) put together a comprehensive resource on the Care and Welfare of Horses that updated a 1994 document on the Housing, Husbandry and Welfare of Horses. Together, the documents cover research published from 1988 to 2006 on subjects including anesthesia and analgesia, behavior, environmental enrichment, housing, law and legislation, nutrition and feeding, pasture, equine ranching, safety, training, and transportation of horses. to Top

Online: http://www.archive.org/details/armyremountprobl00rommrich NAL Call Number: 1.9 An5C Abstract: It is pointed out that although the mounted service of the U.S. Army is now being furnished in a fairly satisfactory manner with horses purchased and developed under the remount system, the price of remounts is high. The plan devised by this Department and the War Department, previously noted to encourage the breeding of horses is deemed necessary, because horses of the proper type are not sufficiently numerous to supply the army in case of war, and the time may soon come when it will be difficult to supply those needed in time of peace. Previous to the Civil War most of the horses bred in the United States were of the light type, but in the last 40 years the heavy draft horse has been bred for farm use. Although the number of horses has increased, the proportion suitable for remounts has appreciably decreased. There is a brief account of the mounted service in the militia and of police in large cities. Specifications for saddle horses purchased in 1910 for the use of the New York mounted police, a brief account of the horse breeding work of this Department, and an outline of the plan for encouraging the breeding of horses for the army, are also given. Descriptors: remount horses, U.S. Army, horse breeding. Notes: Issued December 15, 1911.

NAL Call Number: 1.9 An5B Abstract: Under the section titled "Specific Support and Approval" there is the following: "In a 300-mile endurance contest with horses of the purest Arabian breeding, 'Castor,' a Morgan bred by the U.S. Department of Agriculture at its Middlebury (Vt.) Morgan Horse farm, was the only horse with a clean speed record at the end of the grueling contest. 'Castor' won third place for speed at the end of the contest, notwithstanding the fact that he fell in the deep on a bad bit of road, injured his nose, and made the last 5 miles in a walk. This is an indication of what has been accomplished by the Department of Agriculture in the rehabilitation of the Morgan breed during the few years since the work was undertaken." -- Semi-Weekly Farm News (January 6).

NAL Call Number: 1 Ag84D no. 153 Abstract: This is an account of the progress of a horse-breedig project begun in 1904 in cooperation with the Colorado Experiment Station at Fort Collins, Colo., and transferred in July, 1919, to the United States- horse breeding station at Buffalo, Wyo., which is conducted in cooperation with the State of Wyoming. The object is to develop a distinct breed of light utility horses from native American breeds, viz, the Morgan, the American Saddle horse, and in particular the Standardbred, which has furnished all the stallions and most of the mares. Eleven stallions are leased or available for lease to citizens for service on private herds or for community breeding. Two others, including the famous Standardbred stallion Carmon 32917 which headed the stud from 1904 until recently, are also allowed to serve a limited number of mares brought to the stations. Descriptions and pedigrees are given of the stallions available for public service and also descriptions and breeding records of the foundation mares. Descriptors: horses, breeding, American horses.

average weight around 1,000 pounds; but, as in all breeds, considerable variation is to be found, some very attractive individuals weighing rather more than 1,200 pounds. This breed has always been noted for smooth lines, good style, easy keeping qualities, endurance, and docility - the latter, however, not being obtained at a sacrifice of ambition or courage. Small ears, full eyes with great width between them, crested necks, well- sprung ribs with the last one close to the point of the hip, deep barrels, fairly level croups, full quarter, and enduring legs and feet are the quality that have made Morgan horses famous for a century.

Notes: Opens with a poem by Will Chamberlain entitled "The Horse." This issue discusses horse and mule production. The introduction provides some statistics, including the fact that the aggregated value of horses and mules is more that one-fourth the estimated value of all livestock and that in 7 states, the value of horses and mules exceeds that of all other livestock combined. Interesting, something called a Colt Club is mentioned at the end- clubs in various states designed to teach kids how to care for animals and build character! The author reports at the U.S. Morgan Horse Farm in Vermont a stud of about 60 pure-bred Morgans is maintained for the purpose of obtaining information on breeding, feeding, and management practices. The U.S. Range Livestock Experiment Station at Miles City, Mont., is being utitlized in conducting studies on raising horses under range conditions. For this purpose over 100 head of animals, about half of which are draft horses and mules and the balance light horses, are being maintained. This work is in cooperation with the Montana Experiment Station. Work on breeding remount horses was started by the Bureau of Animal Industry in 1912 through the donation of two Thoroughbred stallions to the bureau by the noted horse fancier, August Belmont. The idea involved was to make available to farmers in light-horse-producing sections, the services of high-class stallions for grading up purposes and thus produce foals that might be suitable for remounts for the Army. Owing to lack of funds to meet the expansion of this project, the work was transferred to the War Department in 1920. Over 450 stallions of the Thoroughbred, Morgan, and Arabian breeds are now distributed throughout the country under this plan.

The report also contains similar information for sheep, dual-purpose cattle, and pasture investigations. The introduction to the document is as follows. "The United States Morgan Horse Farm, located in the town of Weybridge, VT., two miles north of Middlebury, was established in 1907 for the purpose of perpetuating and improving the Morgan breed. The original farmstead consisted of 400 acres and some buildings and was given to the United States Department of Agriculture by Colonel Joseph Battell of Middlebury. Colonel Battell was a life-long, ardent admirer and breeder of Morgans as well as founder and publisher of the Morgan Horse and Register (now called the American Morgan Horse Register), official stud book of the breed. The area of the farm was increased by a subsequent gift from Colonel Battell in 1908 and by purchase of a large tract (about 550 acres) from Middlebury College in 1917. In all, the United States Morgan Horse Farm now comprises approximately 1,000 acres of gently rolling land, underlain with limstone, which is particularly adapted to the raising of pasturage and hay and is suitable for the production of light-type horses. Animals maintained at the U.S. Morgan Horse Farm for experimental purposes at the present time include approximately 75 Morgan horses of all ages and 165 mature sheep."

NAL Call Number: 1.9 Ag81 Exp Notes: On page 170, there is discussion of horse and mule husbandry investigations: Improvement of Morgan horses: The rapid growth of public interest in the use of light horses as a popular means of recreation in recent years, and particularly during the last two or three, has broadened materially the practical application and usefulness of the Bureau's light horse investigations with Morgans at the U.S. Morgan Horse Farm, Middlebury, Vt. In this work, the old type Morgan has successfully been improved in both size and quality through the application of linebreeding and improved methods of selection. Members of the stud today are not only considerably taller and heavier on average than their predecessors, but such increases have been attained without any sacrifice of quality. Continued efforts to improve the general riding qualities of Morgans are also resulting in the production of individuals having better performance at the walk, trot, and canter and the popularity of the improved type has been spreading rapidly to other sections of the country beyond the traditional New England stronghold of this breed, particularly to the Middle West and the Pacific Coast areas. Minimum roughage levels for preganancy and growth studied: Results of studies on the minimum bulk suitable for horses have shown that it is possible to maintain adult horses or ponies, either idle, or, at work, on rations which supply roughage at a level as low as one-fifth of that customarily used. As the roughage level has been reduced the efficiency of utilitization of concentrate feed has increased. A study to determine whethere minimum roughage levels suited to maintenance and work are adequate for pregnancy and growth has now been in progress for approximately 2 years. It appears from results

thus far obtained that the requirements for the successful completion of pregancy are probably greater than for maintenance and work. Foals carried to term by mares on low roughage rations have been strong, healthy animals which have grown out at greater rate than in the case of two control animals at the usual roughage levels. Although in localities where roughages are produced there is greater economy in the utitlization of large amounts of roughage, in those areas such as are found around large cities along the eatern seaboard bulky feeds are sometimes expensive beyond their real value.

NAL Call Number: 1 Ag84C no.824 Abstract: At the U.S. Morgan Horse Farm in Middlebury, Vermont, tests consisting of 1 mile under saddle at the walk, 1 mile at the trot, and 11.35 miles across country at the walk, trot and canter were carried out with 68 three-yr-old Morgan horses, the progeny of 8 sires. The association of a great many factors with performance is discussed; their relation to sire and sex are indicated, and measurements and scores are compared and tabulated. The results indicate that such characters as speed at the walk and on the cross-country course, height to floor of chest, length from point of shoulder to point of hip, style and beauty, slope of croup and shoulder, and action at the trot are controlled by hereditary factors. Length of stride at the trot and general conformation in relation to performance differed significantly between the sexes. Until further investigation has been made regarding the relationship between form and function, breeders are advised to select for performance in accordance with the findings of the present study, and to breed from horses with proved ability to transmit performance.

NAL Call Number: 1.9 Ag81Exp Descriptors: Morgan horses, transfer of the USDA Morgan Horse Farm to the Vermont Agricultural College, budge information, breeding light horses, Middlebury, Vermont, Beltsville, Maryland, horse and mule activities. Notes: Discussion of the budget - including increases and decreases for various animal husbandry and disease programs. On page 301, there is a note indicating a decrease of 19,000 resulting from closing out the horse breeding work at Middlebury, Vermont. On page 306, there is a more detailed discussion: The Budget estimates propose a decrease of $19,000 under the project "Horse and mule husbandry investigations" due to the discontinuance by December 31, 1950, of research at the U.S. Morgan Horse Farm, Middlebury, Vermont on breeding of light horses. The station at Middlebury comprises 987 acres, about half of which were donated by Joseph Battell in 1907 for investigations of Morgan horses. The Morgan horse has been used for experimental studies, the results of which are applicable to horses of all light breeds and much of which has been applied to draft breeds as well. The particular field of study was the heritability of performance characteristics, which provide a basis for the application of genetics to horse breeding. With the closing of this work, horse and mule activities will be limited to a small nutrition project at Beltsville, Maryland, a cooperative project with mules in Tennessee and to the answering of routine correspondence with farmers and others. Although horse numbers

have declined materially in recent years in the United States, numerous requests for information on them are received each year since they continue to be maintained on 60 percent of the farms and ranches in this country and have an inventory value in excess of $300,000,000.
