    List of horse breeds 1 List of horse breeds This page is a list of horse and pony breeds, and also includes terms used to describe types of horse that are not breeds but are commonly mistaken for breeds. While there is no scientifically accepted definition of the term "breed,"[1] a breed is defined generally as having distinct true-breeding characteristics over a number of generations; its members may be called "purebred". In most cases, bloodlines of horse breeds are recorded with a breed registry. However, in horses, the concept is somewhat flexible, as open stud books are created for developing horse breeds that are not yet fully true-breeding. Registries also are considered the authority as to whether a given breed is listed as Light or saddle horse breeds a "horse" or a "pony". There are also a number of "color breed", sport horse, and gaited horse registries for horses with various phenotypes or other traits, which admit any animal fitting a given set of physical characteristics, even if there is little or no evidence of the trait being a true-breeding characteristic. Other recording entities or specialty organizations may recognize horses from multiple breeds, thus, for the purposes of this article, such animals are classified as a "type" rather than a "breed". The breeds and types listed here are those that already have a Wikipedia article. For a more extensive list, see the List of all horse breeds in DAD-IS. Heavy or draft horse breeds For additional information, see horse breed, horse breeding and the individual articles listed below.

The study of the body conformation and performance traits of the 11 376 Wielkopolski horses registered in the six successive volumes of the Stud book iden- tified 24 principal stallion lineages [subsequently divided into 4 origin groups (li- neage types – “Trak./East–Pruss”, (Trakehner/East–Prussian), “Han.” (Hanoverian), “xx” and “o/xo”] which comprised 10 630 horses. The particular lineages were repre- sented by highly different numbers of horses, with a tendency for some of them to gradually decline (“Trak./East–Pruss.” type), stagnate (“o/xo”) or distinctly progress (“xx” and “Han.”). A considerable number of statistically significant differences were found in the mean values of the body conformation and performance trait indices of the analysed horses (chiefly at P < 0.01) between the lineage origin groups, which suggests a high degree of breeding influence on the development of Wielkopolski performance traits. Moreover, emphasis was laid on the evident need for maintaining the existing lineages in the Wielkopolski subpopulation covered by the gene

  • Riding with Kings, Rajasthan, India. 10 Days Plus Options to Stay On
    Riding with Kings, Rajasthan, India. 10 days plus options to stay on. 7 days riding. Introduction This is a ride through rural Rajasthan, a long way from India’s established tourist routes. We ride along sandy trails that thread their way between fields of millet, squash and horse-beans, crossing an agricultural environment that is little changed from the days of the Rajputs and Mongol overlords. Camel carts are the transport of choice with ox waggons and donkeys making their contribution to the rural roads. Many crops are harvested by sickle, fields ploughed by bullocks, and the occasional small Massey, and crops stooked in the traditional way. This is a rare opportunity to see India in a rural setting. And the fact that you’ll be travelling in the most traditional way, riding a Marwari Horse, bestows a very special status upon you: not only are you mounted, but you will be mounted on a prize example of a Marwari – well cared for, well fed and fantastically well mannered. When you ride through a village, heads will turn: riders from the West mounted on horses that the experienced, appraising eyes will acknowledge come from the top bloodlines. The thing to emphasize about this ride is that the logistics are flexible and can be tailor-made to fit your itinerary, particularly if your party consists of four or more riders. The Marwari Horse “science” of whorls is of interest, your host on this The Marwari horse stands between 14 hh and 17 hh ride is well-versed and happy to share his knowledge.

(April 2011) Emily Mullins Department of International Studies Texas A&M University Research Advisor: Dr. Stephen Caffey Department of Architecture The Mughal Empire lasted from 1526 until 1858 in present day Northern India and Pakistan, but was under strong imperial control until 1707. The Mughal emperors were Islamic invaders who combined their culture with that of the native Hindus. This especially showed in their miniature paintings, illustrations in books and manuscripts. Books were considered a commodity, and required a patron who could afford an entire workshop of artisans. Mughal artists created a unique style, drawing from Persian and Indian influences with heavy input from their patrons. The paintings were heavily stylized, but the stylizations were specific. No previous study has used the horse as a focus to analyze miniatures, so this research utilizes detailed information about horse conformation and coat coloring to understand the visual language of the miniatures.

In the present study modern technology of DNA extraction and automatic genotyping was applied in Bosnian and Herzegovinian autochthonous horse breed by using 17-Plex horse genotyping kit. The study was aimed at investigating usefulness of the 17-plex STR Kit for Bosnian mountain horse genotyping and establishing highly useful microsatellite markers system for genetic diversity studies in Bosnian mountain horse breed. Genomic DNA was extracted from whole blood collected from 22 unrelated Bosnian mountain horse specimens. A total of 95 alleles were detected. Average number of detected alleles per locus was 5.588, varying from 3 (HTG7) to 10 (ASB17). Average effective number of alleles was 3.603, fluctuating from 1.789 (HMS7) to 5.728 (HMS2). The observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.136 (HMS3) to 0.909 (ASB2) with a mean of 0.631.

Infection may affect animal welfare and has economic impacts related to limitations in horse transport between endemic and non-endemic regions, reduced performance of sport horses and treatment costs. Here, we analyzed the epidemiological, serological, and molecular diagnostic data published in the last 20 years, and all DNA sequences submitted to GenBank database, to describe the current global prevalence of these parasites. We demonstrate that EP is endemic in most parts of the world, and that it is spreading into more temperate climates. We emphasize the importance of using DNA sequencing and genotyping to monitor the spread of parasites, and point to the necessity of further studies to improve genotypic characterization of newly recognized parasite species and strains, and their linkage to virulence.
