    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.

  • Shire Horses and the People Interested in Them
    THIS PUBLICATION PROUDLY SPONSORED BY THE SHIRES OF LUSCOMBE SHIRE HORSES AND THE PEOPLE INTERESTED IN THEM Volume 3, Issue May 2003 STUD PROFILE—THE SHIRES OF LUSCOMBE The Shires of Luscombe was established in early 1992 after a search of more than 10 years for shire horses available for sale in Australia. Coming from a horse orientated background this was my life dream, to own one of these majestic horses. I am now the proud owner of 8 purebred Shires, and have bred many during the past 10 years. The Shire Horses being bred by The Shires of Luscombe, just north of Tamborine in Queensland are from very famous shire bloodlines. Our breeding mares are “Cedars Annabella” a black 18 hand mare. “Cedars Natasha” a brown 17 hand mare. Our Imported English Mares are “Aldreth Lady Jane” and “Middlecott Victoria”. Jane is a bay with four white feet and stands 16.2 hands, while Victoria is grey and stands 19 hands. Our stallion is ”Luscombe Whats Wanted”, Ted for short. His dam, Middlecott Victoria was imported in foal with him in 1996. His sire is the black shire stallion Ruskington Harvester. Ted is the only grey shire stallion in Australia and stands 18 hands. He has sired many superb shire foals since he started standing at stud 2 years ago. “Annabella” and “Natasha” are both out of imported mares and by the imported shire Stallion “Ladbrook Edward”, who stood 19 hands and was a winner of many titles and ribbons at the Sydney Royal. Now deceased “Ladbrook Edward” was imported as a nine month old colt from England.

  • Senate Inquiry Into the Feasibility of a National Horse Traceability Register
    Senate Inquiry into the feasibility of a National Horse Traceability Register Submission to be received by 19 April 2019 (extension granted) Committee Secretary, Senate Standing Committee on Rural & Regional Affairs & Transport PO Box 6100 CANBERRA ACT 2600 Thank you for the invitation to respond to the Senate Inquiry. Many excellent submissions saluted the merit of a NHTR and a few raised concerns. I have included updates in use/available internationally which can provide solutions for these concerns. As Australia is a long way behind global practice we are non complaint or not recognised in some areas BUT we are in the enviable position now to benefit directly from 20+ years of global experiences with troubleshooting having been done. We now have access to some excellent applications for the NHTR to use as its base. The EU’s levels of equine ID, traceability, health etc. are long standing and truly international. I have attached a cross section of today’s global practices, who benefits, myths of double registration, Privacy concerns and how an NHTR can streamline and simplify the entire Equine sector for the 1 horse owner through the equine disciplines, associations, businesses and ancillary services. One example of a current costing is below as a guide. Central to these systems is a common thread running throughout; UELN Universal Equine Life Number. www.ueln.net with more details giving national projects international linkage. Australia does not need to be behind globally if we opt not to be. My response follows my experiences with EU Equine legislation and breed management with strict adherence to detailed Equine ID & record accuracy from 1997 on.

The "All Other Mixed Breeds" class should include any horse that is a cross of breeds from different sections and does not exhibit obvious characteristic of either type. For example, a TB/QH cross that looks as much Quarter Horse as Thoroughbred could show here. "Grade" refers to a horse whose breeding is unknown or is a mix of several different breeds. You can put "Grade" on the horse's tag; there is no need to list numerous breeds. Grade horses show with "All Other Mixed Breeds".

  • This Publication Proudly Sponsored by the Shires of Luscombe
    THIS PUBLICATION PROUDLY SPONSORED BY THE SHIRES OF LUSCOMBE SHIRE HORSES AND THE PEOPLE INTERESTED IN THEM JANUARY 2004 GRONANT BEACHGIRL GRONANT BEACHGIRL Both Marylou and myself are dedicated to the Shire Breed and have made several trips to the UK to meet with Shire Breeders and look at their horses. This convinced us that Australian Shires needed new genetics to underpin the quality that we were seeking from Shires. Philip Moss, a Shire Breeder that we had visited on a number of occasions was the catalyst for our decision to import a quality mare. Philip, who judged at the 2003 Royal Sydney Show expressed his view at a seminar that some Australian Shire Breeders had addressed the question of breeding quality Shires by using semen from premium quality UK based Shire Stallions eg Trelow Father Abraham, Walton Supreme and Nottage Trump Card. He now felt it was necessary to address the question of the quality of females in Australia. Mr Moss’ thoughts and comments after seeing Shires in Australia were similar views to ours. It was apparent to both Marylou and myself that since the original importation of 13 mares to Australia from the UK in the mid 80’s and a single mare (in foal) from New Zealand in the mid 90’s that there had been no fresh female genetics available to us. Hence, our decision to import a high quality mare that will set us on the path of quality breeding. The main qualities that we are looking for are feet, legs and feather which are the critical points of Shire horses.
