Blood ~ounts You might breed one good horse by chance, but to breed several great horses like Broadwall Drum Major, Broadwall Brigadier, Broadwall Ringmaster , etc., there is a reason . The reason is the breeding behind these horses. The Theis mares we have retained as our brood mares have a higher concentration of Ethan Allen or (Peters) Ethan Allen 2nd 406 blood than any group of mares in this country . A well known authority on Morgan Pedigrees wrote us stating the reason we had such good results from our Theis mares was due to the high concentration of Headlight Morgan blood. (Headlight Morgan was the son of Ethan Allen 2nd 406.) Our mares in their fifth generation (16 ancestors) show eleven traces to Ethan Allen or his grandson Ethan Allen 2nd 406 . The other five trace to famous stallions like Billy Root whose dam was sired by Justin Morgan . The others trace to Daniel Lambert 62 - Mountaineer 676 who goes to Billy Root.

The response .f:ette'Ls~ of our members , readers and , above all, local clubs made to my appeal for im proving the condition of the magazine was amazing. Mr. Otho Eusey, our Editor informs me we received more new subscriptions in November than in any one month to date. The local clubs have tried to improve their pictures the lditois and screen their news. It shows what can be done when we all pull together. The goal has not been reached but, if we continue in 1963 as we have Dear Sir: the last two months of 1962, we should achieve our aim by the end of 1963. Let's CORRECTION - PLEASE ! !
