Mr D. Moon informs the writer that there is a little foal at his place at Tayforth, which weighed only 13 pounds when born, though perfectly shaped, healthy, and as sound as a bell. The dam is tke well-known pony mare Tottie (belonging to Miss Ruby Moon), ■winner of many prizes at the Show here and elsewhere, and clie youngster was sired by Mr Gus McDonald's well-known Shetland pony stallion. Mr Moon says the loai is not as large as an ordinary-sized dog. He adds that he will be pleased to allow anyone to visit his place and inspect this little freak.
