Horse Drawn Drays In London and provincial cities, teams of Suffolks or English Per cherons drawing brightly painted drays laden with beer barrels pro vide a noble sight daily. Racing, a combined sport and industry in Britain, commands the labors of thousands and the specu lative Interest of millions. King George -VLj Queen Elizabeth and the Princess Royal all own and race horses. - A British Horse Society exists to encourage the breeding of hors es and pomes, and their use for agriculture, transport, riding and driving. Standards in breeding and train ing receive a keen and regular stimulus from the annual horse shows which take place in every county and include certain shows such as those held at Windsor, Berkshire and Richmond, London, which have more than a local rep utation. From Roman Days There were horses and ponies in Britain as early as Roman tim es, and some of the native breeds, like the Shetland, have remained practically unchanged since that time. .. The large horse was probably unknown in Britain before the Norman conquest in 1066. From that time, ' heavier types from Spain and Flanders were introduc ed and from these came the evo lution of the kind of war horse ridden by heavily armored knights and, eventually the modern cart horse, such as the shire or the Suffolk Punch. In Mediaeval times the horse was employed and bred almost exclusively for war, but as time went on, was used more and more for farm work. As this development followed its course, English love of sport also attached itself to the horse, first in the tournament and then in racing. It was in the late 17th and early 18th centuries that the importation of Arab and other for eign stock laid the foundations of the modern racehorses or English thoroughbred, the hunter, the hackney, and among heavy typ es) the shire, the Clydesdale and the Suffolk Punch. Among ponies are the polo pony, specially bred for the game, the Welsh, the New Forest, the Exmoor, the Highland and the Shetland. In this electrical era the metal tungsten is widely used for the construction of filaments for many types of light bulbs.
