Letter to James Cossar Ewart from William Laidlaw, 26 October 1900

 Item
Identifier: Coll-14/9/6/30

Scope and Contents

Laidlaw suggests why the Shire and Clydesdale horses have so many white markings. They may breed with cattle whilst the mares are in season. He states that not so many white markings in the cart horse are found in the West and North of Scotland and details further examples of cases of unusual markings on different varieties of horse.
