Katerfelto

Katerfelto

Katerfelto was the name of a famous (possibly mythical) stallion that lived on Exmoor (South West England) in the early nineteenth century. Its name was possibly derived from the Prussian-born quack doctor Gustavus Katterfelto, and it, in turn, lent its name to other horses bred on Exmoor in later years.
