Comrade claims she is one of the best bred animals in Jasper county, having been raised in old Kentucky add being of Red Buck-Blue Bull stock. Comrade, received her for his pony and got $5 to bpot.

The hip bones are high, the ribs prominent and the best thing about her is. the assurance that it will be safe to leave the barn unlocked.
