    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.

  • About Irish Horses

    About Irish Horses

    Playland Farm, LLC About Irish Draught and Sport Horses About Irish Draught and Sport Horses The Irish Draught breed has had over a century of selected breeding in creating the sound, sensible, and athletic horse that is known around the world today. The Irish Draught (pronounced "draft") breed is more versatile and lighter than the typical European heavier drafts due to the infusion of both Spanish and Thoroughbred blood. In the early 20th century, the Irish farmer needed a horse that was strong, docile, athletic, and easy to keep. The horses were required to be able to work the land during the week, jump and gallop Saturday during the fox-hunt, and pull a carriage to church on Sunday. Today the versatile Irish Draught horse is characterized as a horse with great soundness, durability, and stamina. The Irish Draught Sport Horse is a refinement of the already light warm-blooded Irish Draught horse typically with the Thoroughbred horse. The cross has been a successful cross coupling the speed, intelligence, and heart of the Thoroughbred with the calm and sensible temperament, incredible jumping ability, and soundness of the Irish Draught. The popular Irish Sport Horse cross is usually ¾ TB and ¼ Irish Draught in order to receive the preferred degree of refinement. This cross takes two generations to breed from the purebred Irish Draught, and is questioned by some breeders, in regards to having enough Irish blood to possess the wonderful Irish traits. Playland Farm has created an ultra-refined Irish Sport Horse within one generation of breeding Irish stock, that still possess' a high degree of Irish blood and virtues.

  • Ireland's Rare Breeds

    Ireland's Rare Breeds

    IRELAND’S RARE BREEDS A CASE STUDY Ireland’s Rare Breeds What are Rare Breeds? Rare breeds are a breed of livestock or poultry that have a very small breeding population left. Due to their small population numbers, the conservation status of the rare breed can be identified as high. Organisations have been/ are set up devoted to the conservation of these rare breeds, protecting and promoting the breed to help save it from extinction. Some indigenous, native or rare breeds associated to old Ireland are: Equines (Horses), such as the Connemara Pony, the Kerry Bog Pony and the Irish Draught; Bovines (Cattle), such as the Irish Moiled cattle, Kerry Cattle and Dexters; Ovines (Sheep), such as the Galway Sheep. How do these breeds become rare? After the war Ireland’s farmers sought to become more efficient in their farming practices. New breeds were introduced at the expense of Irish indigenous (native) stock. Farmers became aware that with the introduction of more profitable/ efficient breeds – e.g. the Holstein-Friesian – that native breeds such as the Irish Moiled became undisputedly viewed as a highly unprofitable breed in comparison to the high milk yield of the Holstein-Friesian. The introduction of ‘selective breeding’ during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries improved the genetic characteristics of animals, such as their weight, milk yield, leanness and speed of maturity in order to improve profit. As a result of this, many Irish breeds became extinct and only a few native breeds remain today. Animal breeds that were native to old Ireland and have become extinct are: Ulster Large White Pig unsuitable for live transport.
  • Light Horse – Draft Horse – Warmblood Information Sheet

    Light Horse – Draft Horse – Warmblood Information Sheet

    Light Horse – Draft Horse – Warmblood Information Sheet From infoplease.com: A light horse is any breed of horse that is used primarily for riding or for light work such as pulling buggies. Light horses have their origin in the Middle East and North Africa. All modern breeds of light horse trace their origins to the Arabian horse, usually through the Thoroughbred. Light horses are classified according to training, e.g., racers, trotters, riding horses, and cow horses From Wikipedia: A draft horse, draught horse or dray horse (from the Anglo- Saxon dragan meaning to draw or haul) is a large horse bred for hard, heavy tasks such as ploughing and farm labor. There are a number of different breeds, with varying characteristics but all share common traits of strength, patience and a docile temperament which made them indispensable to generations of pre-industrial farmers. Draft horses and draft crossbreds are versatile breeds used today for a multitude of purposes, including farming, show, and other recreational uses. They are also commonly used for crossbreeding, especially to light riding breeds such as the Thoroughbred. While most draft horses are used for driving, they can be ridden and some of the lighter draft breeds are capable performers under saddle. A number of horse breeds are used as draft horses, with the popularity of a given breed often closely linked to geographic location. Examples include: Page 1 of 7 American Cream Ardennes Belgian Boulonnais Breton Clydesdale Dole Gudbrandsdal Irish Draught Percheron Shire Suffolk Punch Gypsy Vanner horse Warmbloods are a group of middle-weight horse types and breeds, primarily originating in Europe, registered with organizations that are characterized by open studbook policy, studbook selection, and the aim of breeding for equestrian sport.
