When in his prime no horse could be found that equaled him in beauty of conformation, elegance of style, grace of carriage and poise, ease and elasticity of gait, excellence of quality and fineness of finish combined. He was of the Morgan pattern, stood strong fifteen hands in height, and was a horse of substance. He had a neat, bony head, large expressive eyes, set well apart, short lively ears always carried erect, a clean-cut throttle, handsomely arched neck of good length, well set upon strong oblique shoulders, which gave him an upheaded, lofty appearance. His back was of medium length and very strong, ribs well sprung from the spine, giving him around barrel which was also deep, of good length and well ribbed back to the hips. His loin was broad and well muscled, coupling strong and smooth, hips long and smoothly turned; croup rather straight, the whirlbone and tail set high, quarters stongly muscled, hocks well let down, forearms long, broad and muscular, cannons short, bones of the leg of good size in proportion to weight of body. His hind leg was fairly straight, but the lower part was joined at the hock at something of and angle, giving the leg a conformation like that found in many speedy trotters. His pasterns were short and strong,his feet well shaped and of the right size to harmonize with his limbs and barrel. The Morgans were the handsomest horses in the world, and Daniel Lambert in his prime was the handsomest of the Morgan tribe. Few horses have ever lived that possessed greater power of stamping their likeness uniformly upon their offspring and imparting to them the ability to perpetuate their good qualities through succeeding generations than did this renowned son of Ethan Allen. Daniel Lambert's success in transmitting his physical beauty was remarkable, and the finish and elegance which a strain of his blood imparts is one of its most valuable traits.
