  • 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.

  • IGRA) Pre-Export Test for Rodeo Cattle of the Breeds Corriente, Brahman Texas Longhorns, and American Bucking Bulls (ABBI)* Guidance for Accredited Veterinarians
    Obtaining an Interferon Gamma Release Assay (IGRA) Pre-Export Test for Rodeo Cattle of the breeds Corriente, Brahman Texas Longhorns, and American Bucking Bulls (ABBI)* Guidance For Accredited Veterinarians For exportations of U.S. cattle of the breeds Corriente, Brahman, Texas Longhorn, and American Bucking Bull (ABBI)* to Canada on the Cattle for Breeding to Canada certificate for any purpose, an Interferon Gamma Release Assay (IGRA) test is required for pre-export testing for bovine tuberculosis (M. Bovis), in addition to the caudal fold test. This requirement is as follows: Rodeo or roping type cattle limited to the breeds Corriente, Brahman, Texas Longhorns, and American Bucking Bull (ABBI)* (other than those temporarily imported under 90 days for exhibition) are also required to be tested negative by the Interferon Gamma Release Assay (IGRA) test in addition to the caudal fold test, regardless of end-use in Canada. The blood sample must be drawn between 72 hours and 30 days following the caudal fold injection. *NOTE: If the animal is considered an “American Bucking Bull/ ABBI” animal, but is not of the breeds Corriente, Brahman, or Texas Longhorn, the importer may apply for a CFIA import permit, listing the accurate breed lineage of the animal other than American Bucking Bull/ ABBI, and the animal will not require an IGRA test. In these cases, the entry of “breed/category” on the corresponding export health certificate must match the CFIA import permit. All animals listed as “American Bucking Bull/ ABBI” on the CFIA import permit, or in the “breed/category” field of the export health certificate must have an IGRA test, regardless of true breed lineage.

EXPO CENTER DUNCAN, OKLAHOMA Welcome to the 2020 Bred to Buck Sale, With all the changes going on in the world, one thing that remains the same is our focus of producing elite bucking bulls. For over 35 years, we have strived to produce the very best in the business. We know the competition gets better every year so we work to remain a leader in the industry. One thing we have proven is all the great bulls are backed by proven cow families. Our program takes great pride in our cows and we KNOW they are the key to our operation. We sell 200 plus females each year between the Fall Female Sale and this Bred to Buck Female Sale, so we have our cow herd fine-tuned to only the most proven cow families. It is extremely hard to select females for this sale knowing that many of our very best cows will be leaving the program. However, we do take pride in the success our customers have with the Page genetics. There are so many great success stories from our customers, and we can’t begin to tell them all.

  • The Origin and Relationships of the Mustang, Barb, and Arabian Horse
    Author’s Preface: The article which follows was commissioned in 2002 by the remarkable Viggo Mortensen, who starred as Aragorn in “The Lord of the Rings” movie trilogy, and who thereafter completely transformed himself to become Frank T. Hopkins for the film “Hidalgo”. Frank T. Hopkins was a real person of part American Indian ancestry, who as a youth in the 1870’s had worked as an errand rider for the U.S. Cavalry on the Plains and who later became a skillful and successful endurance rider and circus performer. During production of “Hidalgo”, Mortensen, who is interested in horses, mooted the idea of publishing a book about the various horse breeds involved in that film. The writer for Hidalgo was John Fusco, who also wrote the DreamWorks film “Spirit: Stallion of the Cimmaron” on which I worked as technical consultant. Fusco breeds mustangs and has also become a friend. He introduced me through correspondence to Mortensen, and the writing project evolved out of that. Unfortunately the book was destined never to be published, although a slightly shorter version of this article was posted for a time at the “Hidalgo” website. We re-post it here in hopes that it will continue to be of help and interest to horse lovers everywhere. THE ORIGIN AND RELATIONSHIPS OF THE MUSTANG, BARB, AND ARABIAN HORSE © 2008 by Deb Bennett, Ph.D. Horse and Human Come Together An icy wind tosses a skiff of powder-fine snow across frozen ground, swirling in hoofprints freshly hollowed by a band of horses. Snorting softly, the stocky and shaggy beasts bunch together for warmth and protection.

Given the absolutely abhorrent conditions that are currently plaguing your city and entire state, your efforts should be attempting to figure out your homeless problem!! Communication from Public Name: Date Submitted: 05/17/2021 01:38 PM Council File No: 20-1575 Comments for Public Posting: Please Do NOT Ban Rodeo and Bull Riding in Los Angeles! This ordinance is unnecessary – PBR already takes great care of the bulls!! - The health and safety of the animals in bull riding is paramount. These animal athletes get the best care and live a great life – extending four to five times as long as the average bull. - PBR stock contractors make their living by breeding, training, and working with their animal athletes. They truly love these animal athletes, treat them as a member of their own family, and have many safeguards in place to ensure their care. - The bulls in PBR are not wild animals forced to compete – they’re bred and trained for their jobs. Bulls buck because of their genetics. They are not abused or coerced to compete. The flank straps and dull spurs used in PBR do NOT harm the bulls. - In addition to bringing millions of dollars of economic impact to LA, bull riding teaches important values like hard work, charity, respect, responsibility, and honesty. The sport is inclusive and promotes equality.
