    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.

  • Programs That Extend the Useful Lives of Horses
    PROGRAMS THAT EXTEND THE USEFUL LIVES OF HORSES: Supply and demand — they are the ingredients that form the foundation for near- ly all successful business models. Markets are sound and profitable when there is a healthy balance between the two. The theory holds true for the horse market as well. Often, however, owners may not be aware of the demands that exist for horses that may be “unwanted” by some, but desired by others. The purpose of this chapter is to show some of the many programs already in place by horse breed organizations and other groups, in which horses are needed by participants. From trail riding enthusiasts to horse show exhibitors, people are searching every day for horses that fit their lifestyles and interests. By understanding the activities encouraged by breed organizations, owners of some unwanted horses might find a good fit, and a good market, among people seeking horses for organized shows and rec- reational events. Following is a listing of some of the most popular programs and activities underway today and some true-life stories of unwanted horses that developed into champions. Competitive Horse Shows: Nearly all horse breed associations offer opportunities for friendly competition. Although a horse may be retired or reaching advanced years of maturity, horse shows offer outlets to help keep the horse active and involved. The registries offer several different disciplines with classes ranging from leadline to saddle seat pleasure to barrel racing. A horse owner can often find a way to keep horses involved for a long time in the variety of disciplines offered in the showing world.

  • American Quarter Horse
    AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE Perissodactyla Family: Equidae Genus: Equus Species: caballus Range: origins in Virginia and Carolinas, now widespread across the United States Habitat: domesticated, found in pastures and farms Niche: Terrestrial, diurnal, herbivorous Wild diet: n/a Zoo diet: hay, feed Life Span: (Captivity) 20 - 40 years Sexual dimorphism: Location in SF Zoo: Children’s Zoo Family Farm APPEARANCE & PHYSICAL ADAPTATIONS: Quarter horses vary in coloring varies from the most prominent color of sorrel (brownish red to bay, black, brown, buckskin, Weight: varies (~ 1100 lbs) chestnut, dun, red dun, gray, grullo, palomino, red roan, blue roan, bay roan, perlino and cremello. The quarter horse breed is known SH: 14 – 16 hands for its small, short and refined head and straight profile as well as (Hand = 4”, hand’s breadth) its broad chest and powerful hindquarters. Standing between 14 and 16 hands, about five-feet-tall at the withers, they are bred with two main body types. The stock type, which is shorter, more compact and well muscled, yet extremely agile, and the racing type that may be slightly taller with smoother muscles than the stock type. The racing type more closely resembles the Thoroughbred and is typically trained for running quarter mile sprints, hence the name. The dental formula is I3/3-C1/1-P3-4/3-M3/3X2= 40-42. The incisors are shaped like chisels; the enamel on the tips folding inward to form a pit, or “mark” that is worn off in early life. The first permanent incisors spear at about 2.5 to 3 years in domestic horses.

  • EXPLANATION of APPALOOSA REGISTRATION NUMBERS 2720 West Pullman Rd
    EXPLANATION OF APPALOOSA REGISTRATION NUMBERS 2720 West Pullman Rd. Moscow, ID 83843 (208) 882-5578 http://www.appaloosa.com [email protected] The Appaloosa Horse Club welcomes your interest in registering your Appaloosa with our international registry. Our mission is to preserve and protect the Appaloosa. Registration with the Appaloosa Horse Club authenticated your horse. The Appaloosa is a unique horse with specific markings. Appaloosa versatility is well known from trail and distance, to over fences, to cutting and reining or your own joy in the backyard. The Appaloosa can do it all. REGULAR: Horses registered in this category have a number sign (#) preceding their registration number. Regular registration requires an Appaloosa coat pattern or Appaloosa mottled skin and one other Appaloosa characteristic. NON-CHARACTERISTIC: Horses registered in the non-characteristic (N) category will have an N prefix before the registration number. CERTIFIED PEDIGREE OPTION: If a non-characteristic horse has gone through the Certified Pedigree Option (CPO) program, it will have a CN prefix before the registration number. PRIOR TO 1983: Horses registered prior to January 1, 1983, were registered as regular or breeding stock in a Tentative or Permanent category. Horses registered Tentative had a T in front of the registration number. When a Tentative registered horse passed to Permanent, the T prefix was dropped and the number remained the same. If a horse did not display an Appaloosa coat pattern, it was registered in the breeding stock category with either Tentative or Permanent papers. These papers were pink in color. Numbers with no prefix, or with a number sign (#) indicate Permanent registration.
