Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Lord Arthur Cecil, 08 October 1905
Item
Identifier: Coll-14/9/11/38
Scope and Contents
Cecil is puzzled that Ewart mixed Spanish and horse blood and produced a Celtic pony, as he would have thought the mix would have produced the Island pony. He reports that Ritchie is annoyed that his neighbours prefer to use a crofters' pony to the Arab breed. He has written to Forsyth asking him to let the pony 'Atholl' to stand at the head of the Monkstadt stud (the experimental farm of the Congested Districts Board) on the Isle of Skye. He writes that he saw the best Highland ponies he has ever seen at Strathaird, and provides some details about them.
