The stallions used included English Thoroughbred, pure Arabs or half-breds belonging to the families named. Colonel Horvath states that the principle kept in view in breeding suitable stallions is very simple. It is the gradual improvement of a family by the introduction of nobler and higher blood, while at the same time the type of the family is retained. Where more blood is wanted full-blood horses are used according to the previous breeding of the particular family. The produce, when strong ...enough, is served once more by a Thoroughbred, and then the breeder resorts again to a sire of the original strain of the family. It is, in fact, a system of breeding from half-bred stock, with the occasional use of Thoroughbreds when there is a tendency to coarseness. Colonel Horvath was asked this question, " Do you hope to establish fixed or permanent half-bred races which may be bred truly inter se?" and the answer was: "The families of Nonius, Majestosa (Lippieza blood), Gidran and Schagya (Arab blood) are already constant.
