Shatland Ponies

• The Shetland pony is a breed of pony originating in the Shetland Isles. Shetlands range in size from a minimum height of approximately 28 inches to an official maximum height of 11 hands high at the withers (11.2 hands for American Shetlands). Shetland ponies have heavy coats, short legs and are considered quite intelligent. They are a very strong breed of pony, used for riding, driving, and pack purposes. Shetlands can be almost every colour, including skewbald and piebald (called pinto in the United States), but are mainly black, chestnut, bay, grey, palomino, dun, roan, cremello, and silver dapple. Registered shetlands are not leopard spotted (Appaloosa).

Caspian

• The Caspian is a small horse breed native to Northern Iran. Although its original height probably ranged between 9 hands (36 inches, 91 cm) it is termed a horse rather than a pony because, size apart, it has much in common with horses. It is believed to be one of the oldest horse or pony breeds in the world, descended from small Mesopotamian equines. The Caspian Horse is extremely hardy, with strong feet that rarely need shoeing unless consistently working on very hard or stony ground. Great length from hip to hock may be a factor in their incredible jumping ability. The usual colors are bay, grey, black, dun or chestnut. A few have white markings on the head and legs. Interestingly, some lack chestnuts.

Description

Paints are stockier and more powerful than other light

horse breeds.

Color patterns are different in American Paint Horses

making them easy to distinguish from other stock-type

breeds.

Each horse has a unique combination of white and any one

of the colors of the equine rainbow: black, bay, brown,

chestnut, dun, grulla, sorrel, palomino, gray or roan.

Origin:

American Paint Horses have strict bloodline requirements and a distinctive

body type.To be eligible for registry, a Paint must come from stock

registered with the American Paint Horse Association, the American

Quarter Horse Association, or the Jockey Club (thoroughbreds).

Origins of the Paint Horse in North America can be traced back to the two-

toned horses introduced by the Spanish explorers and descendants of

horses from North Africa and Asia Minor. Some of these horses escaped to

create the wild herds of horses roaming the Great Plains.

They were captured and gentled, they raced alongside the herds of buffalo

and traveled hundreds of miles on cattle drives. Cherished by the best

horsemen of the Western frontier, both Native Americans and cowboys

sought the horses loudly splashed with color.

Uses:

Showing:Paints have strength and conformation to

participate competitively in horse sports.

Racing:Began in 1966 by crossing Paints with Quarter

horses and Thoroughbreds.

Breeding:Breeding with Mustangs, Tennessee Walkers,

Missouri Fox Trotter, and Arabians (some having the

markings of an Appaloosa and a Pinto).

Pleasure riding:They have been used in therapeutic riding

programs and in parades.

Appaloosa

Description

They have a colorful leopard spotted coat.

Appaloosas are prone to develop equine

recurrent uveitis and congenital stationary

night blindness.

Most Appaloosas have colorful spotted coat

patterns, striped hooves, mottled skin and

white sclera visible around the iris when the

eye is in a normal position.

Origin

In ancient Persia, Appaloosas were worshipped as the sacred horses of Nisca,

the great hero of Persian literature.

Many people associate the Appaloosa with the old west and certain Indian

tribes.

As long as 20,000 years ago, the artists drew detailed images of spotted

horses in caves which are located in France.

Spotted horses also could be found in China as early as 206 B.C. and before

then.

The Spanish explorers introduced the spotted horse to North America.

Spanish Andalusians often had spotted coats. Andalusians had been used

by the Spanish for their explorations and the native populations stole and

traded these horses amongst themselves. The spotted horse spread

northward until most of the Indian populations were mounted (around

1700).

Tersk color detail Although the Tersk looks fragile and has a very thin coat, they cope well in their harsh climate. They are very beautiful, and have great endurance. The horses have a calm temperament, and are intelligent and quick learners. The Tersk has a refined head with large, expressive eyes, and medium-length ears. The neck is muscular and high-set. The horses have sloped shoulders, a deep chest, strong back with muscular loins, and a flattish croup. The legs are fine with well-defined tendons. The horses are light-framed, and light in bone. Mares stand up to 14.3 hh, stallions up to 15 hh

• The horses are almost always gray or "white" with a silvery sheen, although there is the occasional chestnut.

The Tersk was formed mainly from the Strelets Arabians, bred at the Strelets stud in Ukraine and virtually extinct by the 1920s. The Strelets was produced by crossing pure Arabians with high-quality Orlov Trotters and Anglo-Arabians. A littleThoroughbred blood was also added. The resulting horse had an Arabian look, but was larger than the pure-breds.

russia

The Tersk was first developed in the 1920s and 1940s at the Tersk and Stavropol Studs in the Northern Caucasus mountains in Russia. Marshal S. M. Budyonny(who the Budyonny breed is named after) had great input on the breed.

Origin

The horses are known for their endurance, demonstrated when several horses were entered in a 192-mile ride and every Tersk finished in good time and shape, and so are good for endurance riding. The Tersk's graceful Arabian stride makes them good for dressage, and their bold nature and athleticism suits them for show jumping. They are also very fast, and frequently raced against Arabians.

Usage

The typical Thoroughbred ranges from 15.2 to 17.0 hands high,

averaging 16 hands. The face and lower legs may be marked with

white,[3] but white will generally not appear on the body. Coat

patterns that have more than one color on the body, such

as Pinto or Appaloosa, are not recognized by mainstream breed

registries.[2][4] Good-quality Thoroughbreds have a well-chiseled

head on a long neck, high withers, a deep chest, a short back,

good depth of hindquarters, a lean body, and long

legs.[3][5] Thoroughbreds are classified among the "hot-blooded"

breeds, which are animals bred for agility and speed and are

generally considered spirited and bold. [6]

They are most often bay, seal

brown, chestnut,black, or gray.[1] Less common

colors recognized in the United States

include roan andpalomino. White is very rare, but

is a recognized color separate from gray

color Usage

Thoroughbreds are used mainly for racing, but are also bred for other riding disciplines such as show jumping, combined training, dressage, polo, and fox hunting. They are also commonly crossbred to create new breeds or to improve existing ones

The Thoroughbred is a horse breed best known for its use in horse racing. Although the word thoroughbred is sometimes used to refer to any breed of purebred horse, it technically refers only to the Thoroughbred breed. Thoroughbreds are considered "hot-blooded" horses, known for their agility, speed and spirit.

origin

The conformation of the Clydesdale has changed significantly throughout its history.

In the 1920s and 1930s, it was a compact horse smaller than

the Shire, Percheron and Belgian. Beginning in the 1940s, breeding animals

were selected to produce taller horses that looked more impressive in parades and

shows. Today, the Clydesdale stands 16 to 18 hands high and weighs 1,800 to 2,000

pounds (820 to 910 kg). [1] Some mature males are larger, standing taller than 18 hands

and weighing up to 2,200 pounds (1,000 kg).[2] The breed has a straight or

slightly convex facial profile, [3] broad forehead and wide muzzle. It is well-muscled and

strong, with an arched neck, high withers and a sloped shoulder. Breed associations

pay close attention to the quality of the hooves and legs, as well as the

general movement. Their gaits are active, with clearly lifted hooves and a general

impression of power and quality. [1] Clydesdales are energetic, with a manner described

by the Clydesdale Horse Society as a "gaiety of carriage and outlook." [4] Clydesdales

have been identified to be at risk for chronic progressive lymphedema, a disease with

clinical signs that include progressive

swelling, hyperkeratosis and fibrosis of distal limbs that is similar to chronic

lymphedema in humans.[5]

Detail

Clydesdales are usually bay in color,

but roan, black, grey and chestnut also occur.

Most have white markings, including white on the

face, feet, legs and occasional body spotting

(generally on the lower belly). They also have

extensive feathering on their lower legs.

Color Origin Usage

The Clydesdale was originally used for agriculture, hauling coal in Lanarkshire and heavy hauling in Glasgow.[2] Today, Clydesdales are still used for draught purposes, including agriculture, logging and driving. They are also shown and ridden, as well as kept for pleasure. Some of the most famous members of the breed are the teams that make up the hitches of the Budweiser Clydesdales.

The Clydesdale is a breed of draught horse derived from the farm horses ofClydesdale, Scotland, and named after that region. Although originally one of the smaller breeds of draught horses, it is now a tall breed.
