Letter to James Cossar Ewart from William Laidlaw, 26 October 1900
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.
Letter to James Cossar Ewart from William Mungall, 22 September 1909
Mungall writes regarding the filly foal born in 1908 to the yellow dun Shetland mare 'Helen II' and says that due to the distance he cannot say whether the foal has chestnuts (callosities) or ergots. However, the second foal born to the mare does have chestnuts.
Letter to William Waldegrave Palmer, 2nd Earl of Selbourne from Walter Peacock, 25 April 1916
Peacock thanks Lord Selbourne for his interest in the breeding experiments with Dartmoor ponies and old Devon packhorses. He is preparing a memorandum of their current work and plans for the future which he will send to Selbourne and also to Ewart, whom Peacock wishes to consult regarding the application of Mendelian principles to the pack horse. He goes on to describe the breeding work in South Devon between a Norfolk-Roadster stallion and mares with packhorse pedigrees.
