Clover, reputed to be the oldest liv­
ing horse in the world. 1s nearing his
fifty-first .birthday on the farm of a
local clergyman.
The rigors of winter had no effect
on the old horse, for his owner pro­
vided him with a special box stall
lined with straw, and a double blan-
ket. Regular exercise every day and
warm food are said to have helped
him weather the dangerous season.
Clover still boasts a full mane and
all his teeth. His body is without a
blemish, Such is his fame that he
now enjoys a pension from the 1
