Identifier: Coll-14/9/22/5
Scope and Contents
Lort-Phillips criticises the conduct of the Board of Agriculture for their collaboration with the Hunters Improvement Society in the army horse breeding scheme. He disparages the emphasis that has been placed on the Premium Thoroughbred horse, 'the wretched brutes that have done more harm to Light Horse Breeding than anything else.'
There are also two typed copies of the letter, presumably made at a later date.
