Letter to James Cossar Ewart from A. Irving, 26 September 1913
Item
Identifier: Coll-14/9/19/47
Scope and Contents
Irving writes that he has had the opportunity to inspect several 'mustangs' in a stud, and was struck by their resemblance to the Stortford horse, except in the development of the hind quarters.

Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Frederick Stringer Wrench, 25 February 1902
Item
Identifier: Coll-14/9/8/11
Scope and Contents
Wrench explains that at his stud farm they have 15 Connemara pony mares (nine of which are in foal to an Arab and two to a Connemara stallion) and two Erris ponies (in foal to a thoroughbred). This season they plan to mix the pairings and the results of the couplings will be carefully monitored.
