His geueral type is also the most ancient of any of wLi:h we have record or tradition, d this is the principai reason why he is more prepotent than others in transmitting his sup erior qualities to his offspring. Tradition usserts that the first great im- provement in refining the large horses of Frace was made by Barb stallions captured trom the Moors, In 731 thousands of these fine Barb stallions were captured(for theMoors road suchonly, and never mares) and dis- tributed among the French soldiers, who, on returning to their farms, bred them to their own large native mares.
