Every single successive (recorded) daughter in the family, for over 100 years, was bred to a throughbred stallion, usually a noted one, with pedigrees on the sire side at least as illustrious as those of "bred" mares, some of which could not be traced back as far, and yet were included in the GSB. According to John Osborne, with whom Prior corresponded, the mares in this line had been owned and bred by the Taft family from the time of the Exmoor pony mare. The Tafts were tenants of the Stanhopes, Earls of Chesterfield, with vast acreage in Derbyshire, where the principal Stanhope seat was located.
