Quite a Bit of Blue-Ribbon Horse Flesh: The beginnings of a fair-sized silken blanket could be made for Doritrea, shown above, from the blue ribbons which she has won at live stock shows and state fairs for her superiority over all other Percheron mares. Doritrea is, first of all, grand champion of Percherons of Michigan. She was so designated at the Michigan state fairs in Detroit of 1934 and 1935. She was first prize three-year-old at the International live stock exposition in Chicago in 1931. With her colt she won first prize at the 1935 Michigan state fair in the mare-and-foal class. She weighs approximately 1900 pounds and is the queen of the Dhu Varren stables of Edward A. Hunter, near Salem.
