GALLOWAYS--WHY PARTICULAR HORSES SO CALLED.


Galloway is a county in Scotland that lies the most to the south and
the nearest to Ireland. This county gives name to a particular breed
of horses of a middling size, which are strong, active, hardy, and
serviceable.

Tradition reports that this kind of horse sprung from some Spanish
stallions, who swam on shore from some of the ships of the famous
Spanish Armada wrecked on the coast.
