  • 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.

  • AHC PAST Act Frequently Asked Questions
    PREVENT ALL SORING TACTICS ACT OF 2013 (H.R. 1518) Frequently Asked Questions What is the Horse Protection Act and why was it enacted? The Horse Protection Act (HPA or Act) is a federal law that was passed in 1970 to stop the cruel practice of “soring” horses that was occurring in sectors of the horse show industry, primarily the Tennessee Walking Horse and Racking Horse industry. In the 1950s, some horse owners and trainers who wanted to improve their horses’ chances of winning began to sore their horses as a shortcut in place of longer and more conventional training methods. As this practice spread, public concern over the practice led to the passage of the federal law. What activities does it prohibit? The federal law prohibits the showing, sale, auction, exhibition, or transport of horses that have been “sored.” The HPA was passed in 1970 in response to the growing practice of soring of horses to cultivate an accentuated gait on some horses for showing or sale. The Act and its enforcement have traditionally been aimed at those sectors of the walking horse show industry that push for a particularly accentuated gait, known as the “big lick” or “performance” gait, while showing. What is soring? According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA or the Department) the agency that enforces the HPA: “Soring is a cruel and inhumane practice used to accentuate a horse’s gait. Soring may be accomplished by irritating or blistering a horse’s forelegs through the injection or application of chemicals or mechanical devices that cause irritation.

Gaited horses have been around for many years, but how did they end up in the American Saddlebred? This series of articles will take you from the dawn of the gaited horse through to the modern day Saddlebred, look at the genetics behind the ambling gait and give you some pointers as to the physique of the gaited horse. What is a gaited horse anyway? Every pace of the horse, be it walk, trot or canter, is called a “gait”. For the gaited enthusiast, any horse can do these gaits, what they are interested in is the smooth non-jarring English palfrey, cc 1795 – 1865. lateral gait (the legs on one side moving together). (http://www.1st-art-gallery.com/John- This “gait” comes in many guises and names Frederick-Herring-Snr/My-Ladye's-Palfrey.html). depending on the collection, speed and length of stride of the horse, as well as the individual breed of the horse. It is the specific pattern of footfall and the cadence that defines the gait in each of the gaited breeds. A quiet horse may well have a better gait than his flashy fast-moving counterpart, so look beyond the hype and see exactly what those feet and hindquarters are doing. This smooth-moving gait has been depicted in cave walls and fossilised in footprints dating to over 3½ million years ago – so just how did it get from there Lady Conaway's Spanish Jennet to the American Saddlebred? We know that horses (http://www.spanishjennet.org/registry.shtml) are not native to America, so to answer that question we must travel back in time and place to Europe and Asia.

Frank Dobie1 INTRODUCTION Wild horses have long captured the imagination of American audi- ences. The wild Mustang early on came to symbolize the freedom and untamed beauty of the American West.2 Since Congress passed the Wild and Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act (“the Act”) in 1971, wild horses that live in the western states have been protected under federal law as “symbols of the historic and pioneer spirit of the West” and as part of an effort to preserve the ecological diversity of the area.3 This legislation resulted from increased public protest over the inhumane capture and slaughter of wild horses, which had led to a significant decline in their numbers from the late 1800s on.4 The Act declares that wild horses living on public lands are to be protected and managed by the federal govern- ment, and that the Secretary may “designate and maintain specific ranges on public lands as sanctuaries for their protection and preservation.”5 * J.D.
