The Pare Clydesdale Stallion “AVON” AVON is a bay horse with black points, and stands 17 hands, with «of bona and hair, come of a great family. His dam waa sold at 80 guineas when good mares were sold at a fourth of that price. She is out of a Blackleg mare—one of a family of four, out ef the same dam, and the quartette, by Renfrew Jock, were the four best horses ever bred in the Oamaru district. AVON, by Avon Chief (160, N.Z.5.8.), bred by Wm Boag, Esn., Fendaltou, near Christchurch, out of his famous prize mare Grace Darling (36), by Prince of Kilbride, imported (662*) Grace Darling by Prince Charlie, imported (I and 626*). Grace Darling was the best mare that ever etcod in New Zealand. She has been first and Champion at Christchurch many times, beating the great Maggie Craig, Champion of Scotland. Sne was first at Dunedin in her claas and Champion of the yard, in fact her career in the ring is Unprecedented. AVON'S dam, Gipsy, by Renfrew Jock (136), im« ported from Victoria j g sire Renfrew, imported from Scotland; g dam Jess, by Blackleg, imported from Scotland. Renfrew Jock’s dam Hose, by Cowden Lad a famous Clydesdale, imported from Scotland by the l»te David Nesbitt. Renfrew' Jock was a most successful show horse. Before leaving Victoria be took many firsts, and he was first 3 years in succession in Oamaru, Timaru, and Dunedin, and Champion of the yard as well. From this history breeders will recognise that they have in Avon not only a horse of >;ood parts, but an Entire of good lineage, a nutter altogether different from a good looking horse. The groat point in horse breeding is to have hj sire connected with good families of undoubted chartu ior. In th - one esse the block will be uniformly good, while iu the other case individuals may surpss ;, hut the general character of the stock ?fill bo inferior and disappointing. Nothing is more grievous to a breeder than to see weeds spring from a good looking sire. Terms, A 4 ; Groom’s Foe, ss. For full information apply to KOBE Hi DONALDSON, 277 Groom in charge.
