Richardson, S. Yorkshire, UK The Shire Horse is the most numerous and largest of the heavy horses found in Great Britain. The recognised colours in the breed are black, bay, brown and grey. The height of the stallions should be 17.2 hands at maturity with mares a hand smaller. However, many of the leading prizewinners are up to and over 18.00 hands. The characteristic of the Shire is the nice silky feather on the legs, obtained from crossing with Clydesdales in the early 50's to alleviate the grease problems in the older type Shire. More recently the market pressures are wanting white legs to make the best use of the action and presence of the breed in the show ring, particularly in turnout classes. The history of the breed goes back to the medieval "Great Horse" used in time of war to carry knights in armour weighing up to 400lbs.

  • List of Horse Breeds 1 List of Horse Breeds
    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.

  • Horse Breeds in Medieval Role-Playing Games
    Horse Breeds in Medieval Role-playing Games Throughout the Middle Ages the horse was a powerful symbol of social differences but also a tool for the farmer, merchant and fighting classes. While the species varied considerably, as did their names, here is a summary of the main types encountered across Medieval Europe. Great Horse - largest (15-16 hands) and heaviest (1.5-2t) of horses, these giants were the only ones capable of bearing a knight in full plate armour. However such horses lacked speed and endurance. Thus they were usually reserved for tourneys and jousts. Modern equivalent would be a «shire horse». Mules - commonly used as a beast of burden (to carry heavy loads or pull wagons) but also occasionally as a mount. As mules are often both calmer and hardier than horses, they were particularly useful for strenuous support tasks, such as hauling supplies over difficult terrain. Hobby – a tall (13-14 hands) but lightweight horse which is quick and agile. Developed in Ireland from Spanish or Libyan (Barb) bloodstock. This type of quick and agile horse was popular for skirmishing, and was often ridden by light cavalry. Apparently capable of covering 60-70 miles a single day. Sumpter or packhorse - a small but heavier horse with excellent endurance. Used to carry baggage, this horse could be ridden albeit uncomfortably. The modern equivalent would be a “cob” (2-3 mark?). Rouncy - a smaller and well-rounded horse that was both good for riding and carrying baggage. Its widespread availability ensured it remained relatively affordable (10-20 marks?) compared to other types of steed.

  • History of Horses.Pdf
    Horses - A History * History comes from researching bloodlines, Shire of Cote du Ciel; Lady Isabel Cordera * not necessarily from historical accounts. Origins: The horse is one of the oldest domesticated animals of ancient times. We begin our look at the horse not from the beginning of time, but from the time right before domestication took place. If you are curious about the origins of the horse, you can do a literary search of these early horse species from the scientific group Condylarth: Eohippus, Mesohippus, Miohippus, Pliohippus, and Equus Caballus. Special Mention: It is worth knowing that Equus Caballas did exist on the American continent in the Ice Age, but migrated to Europe and Asia from existing land bridges from glaciers. These glaciers melted, trapping the predecessor of the horse in the European and Asian continents, and the Equus Caballas remaining on the American Continent, went extinct. From Equus Caballas, we come across two types of breeding: Natural Selection: ‘Survival of the fittest’ - environment dictated survival. Viability of animal genes depended on environment. These animals are built to survive. Artificial Selection: Survival based on human intervention - humans decided which traits to breed for, and did not allow breeding between ‘less superior’ animals. These animals are bred to work. Our modern horses come almost exclusively from artificially selected means. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From Equus Caballas, 3 ancient horse breeds developed, which became the foundation of breeding stock for ages to come: 1) The Asiatic Wild Horse These horses were discovered in 1881 by Poliakov as a wild Mongolian horse herd. These horses survived millions of years of natural selection and are ‘pure’ representations of history.
