Received: 9 August 2019; Accepted: 13 August 2019; Published: 20 August 2019 Abstract: The Estonian Native Horse (ENH) is a medium-size pony found mainly in the western islands of Estonia and is well-adapted to the harsh northern climate and poor pastures. The ancestry of the ENH is debated, including alleged claims about direct descendance from the extinct Tarpan. Here we conducted a detailed analysis of the genetic makeup and relationships of the ENH based on the genotypes of 15 autosomal short tandem repeats (STRs), 18 Y chromosomal single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), mitochondrial D-loop sequence and lateral gait allele in DMRT3.

    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 Fell Ponies of the English Landscape

    The Fell Ponies of the English Landscape

    The Fell Ponies of the English Landscape Fell Ponies in their natural habitat which demands hardiness! Photo by Sabine Hoff One of the few breeds of pony still running in semi-feral (wild) herds, Fell ponies derive their name from the landscape on which they survive. Named after the Norse word for "hill", the northern fells of England have been home to this type of pony for nearly 2000 years. Historically the breed originates from northern England and the Scottish border. The forts along Hadrian’s Wall were garrisoned for four centuries with Roman auxiliary troops. Roman military inscriptions show that French, Dutch, German, Polish, Spanish and eastern European cavalrymen were posted here to help maintain law and order, and with them came various foreign stallions native to the mercenaries’ homelands. These horses, ranging from slender Arab types to coarser Friesian workhorses, may well have been used both during and after the occupation to breed and produce an assortment of types in Romanized Britain. It's believed that crosses between these and the native Celtic pony have influenced many of some modern native breeds, including the Fell pony. Anything over 13.2 hands was not suited to the conditions on the Northern Fells and such larger animals could only survive with extra feeding. Despite being crossed with larger foreign stallions, natural selection stabilized the breed as a pony. The average size of a Fell is 13.2, with the maximum height being no more than 14 hands. The breed has four acceptable coat colors and is renowned for its silky leg feathering and profuse mane and tail.

  • Large Herbivore Management

    Large Herbivore Management

    KNEPP CASTLE – LARGE HERBIVORE MANAGEMENT 1. Introduction The Knepp estate consist of about 1.400 ha (3.500 acres). About 485 ha (1.200 acres) of the Knepp estate is currently managed under the Countryside Stewardship (CSS), in two blocks. Restoration of the first block, the Knepp Park commenced in 2000 with the introduction of fallow deer. Since then cattle, ponies and pigs have been added and all free-roam over about 300 ha (750 acres). In 2005, a further 160 ha (400 acres) at Pondtail Farm was entered into the CSS agreement together with 60 ha (142 acres) belonging to a neighbouring landowner to the north, which is managed under the same prescription and within the same ring-fence. The second phase of parkland restoration currently only has cattle grazing the land, and the initial concept is to allow the land to ‘scrub-up’ before any other herbivores are included. The CCS prescription has been relaxed to allow the land to be under grazed in the hope that a mantle along hedgerows and woodland boundaries will develop to protect new seedling trees from browsing. At present in the Knepp park there are about 280 deer (estimated 80 Bucks and 200 Does) + fawns, 7 ponies (soon to be 13 after foaling), 15 cows plus calves and 7 female Tamworth pigs. In the second park, to the North of the A272, there are about 30 longhorns. The Large Herbivore Foundation has been asked to participate in the Knepp castle Steering Group. Due to an accident Joep van de Vlasakker could not participate in the first steering group meeting on 9 may 2006 and was asked by Charlie Burrell to write down some views points on the grazing species and their densities as discussed together with Charlie earlier, during his stay at Knepp castle.

Project supervisor: Professor Duncan Hannant, School of Veterinary Medicine and Science, University of Nottingham LE12 5RD, UK. Although genetic analyses suggest that the Skyrian pony is unrelated to other breeds, it shares some physical features with Exmoor ponies, thought to originate in the primitive pony referred to as Pony Type 1, and the Caspian horse, thought to be descended from Horse Type 4. To test the hypothesis that the Skyrian shares the Exmoor’s origin in Pony Type 1, comparisons were made of defined physical characters and morphometric measurements amongst Skyrian ponies, Exmoor ponies and Caspian horses. The average mean character differences were 0.56 ± 0.12 between the Skyrians and Exmoors, 0.43 ± 0.15 between the Skyrians and Caspians and 0.83 ± 0.06 between the Caspians and Exmoors. This approximates to reports comparing other horse breeds and breeds in other species, confirming that the Skyrian is a distinct breed.

    This is a cross-reference list for entering your horses at NAN. It will tell you how a breed is classified for NAN so that you can easily find the correct division in which to show your horse. If your breed is designated "other pure," with no division indicated, the NAN committee will use body type and suitability to determine in what division it belongs. Note: For the purposes of NAN, NAMHSA considers breeds that routinely fall at 14.2 hands high or less to be ponies.
