American Turf Register And Sporting Magazine Vol 2

Excerpt from American Turf Register and Sporting Magazine, Vol. 2: September, 1830, to August, 1831 The Barbary horse, though in all probability originally descended from an Arabian stock, is neither so handsome nor tall, but stronger, and carries a greater depth of carcass than the Arabian. He has a shorter back, a stronger loin, and a fuller ank; is tractable, docile, and sure-footed; not very spirited, but when urged will discover good speed and vigour, and excellent wind; and when running he runs closer and strides better than the Arabian; and his colour is more usually white.
