Our parents were always wonderfully supportive and encouraged us to live our dreams. Showjumping became a big part of our lives, with all of us achieving success in the arena at the highest levels — on horses that jumped well because they wanted to. Sheer hard work and determination enabled us to start Showtym Horses, our family business, where we train young riders and horses alongside our own, building it up to a 25-hectare (65- acre) property with a stable of 50 horses. Training and competing is Vicki’s main focus; she is one of the country’s most competitive (and successful) riders. Amanda is equally passionate about writing and filming as showjumping; I compete mostly for fun, but my other work — design, photography and writing — has also come to revolve around horses. It is perhaps unsurprising that we are also involved in taming wild horses. Since 2012, we have become advocates and trainers for New Zealand’s wild horses, the Kaimanawas. We are passionate about improving horse welfare worldwide, and about building awareness of just how wonderful wild horses can be. For all three of us, fictional wild horses were an integral part of our childhood. In a time before computers and the internet were commonplace, we would spend hours reading stories about horses; many of these revolved around the wild Mustangs found in America’s Wild West. As our respect for the abilities of our rescued Kaimanawas grew, so too did our interest in the plight of wild horses everywhere. The more we learnt, the more we saw a growing need for someone to champion the cause of these horses, and we took it upon ourselves to research, read and watch everything we could on the wild horses we had first discovered in — 14 — the pages of our childhood books all those years ago.

    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.

    RUNNING WILD, RUNNING FREE?: CHANGING PERCEPTIONS OF WILD HORSES IN THE AMERICAN LANDSCAPE A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the North Dakota State University of Agriculture and Applied Science By Andrea Lynn Mott In Partial Fulfillment for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Major Department: History, Philosophy, and Religious Studies May 2014 Fargo, North Dakota North Dakota State University Graduate School Title Running Wild, Running Free: Changing Perceptions of Wild Horses in the American Landscape By Andrea Lynn Mott The Supervisory Committee certifies that this disquisition complies with North Dakota State University’s regulations and meets the accepted standards for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE: Thomas D. Isern Chair Angela Smith Cynthia Prescott Kevin Sedivec James F. Hoy Approved: July 11, 2014 John Cox Date Department Chair ABSTRACT Since the 1930s, wild horses have become a subject of public concern. They are often showcased as symbols representing the historic past of the western United States. More recently they have become symbols of a mythic, or imagined, west. Writers, scholars, politicians, advocates, ranchers, and land managers are among the few groups who have taken a role in the livelihood of these animals living freely on public rangelands. The protection movement that began in the 1950s and carried over into the 1970s ultimately resulted in the passage of the 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act. This act placed all wild horses living on public rangelands under the protection of the Bureau of Land Management and the Forest Service. Before this legislation individuals in the West could round up wild horses without interference.

  • Wild Horses in Oregon by Barbara Ditman Scientists Believe That the Ancestors of Today's Horses Evolved in North America 3.5 Million Years Ago
    Wild horses in Oregon By Barbara Ditman Scientists believe that the ancestors of today's horses evolved in North America 3.5 million years ago. Those animals became extinct in the Americas at least 11,000 years ago, and it wasn’t until the early sixteenth century that Spanish explorers and missionaries reintroduced horses into the American West. Within a hundred years, wild horses again populated the plains, while modern breeds eventually diluted or replaced most of the Spanish strains. The number of wild horses and burros diminished significantly during the decades of western settlement, as people encroached on their range and exploited the animals for commercial purposes. During the 1950s and 1960s, Velma B. Johnston, known as “Wild Horse Annie,” ran a grassroots campaign in Nevada that led to the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971. The act requires the protection, management, and study of "unbranded and unclaimed horses and burros on public lands in the United States," and the Bureau of Land Management was given the responsibility for managing the Wild Horse & Burro Program (WH&B). In southeastern Oregon, the BLM now manages 17 Herd Management Areas (HMAs) and co-manages one Wild Horse Territory with the U.S. Forest Service. In 2018, an estimated 4,682 wild horses and 49 wild burros were roaming on Oregon’s HMAs and the Wild Horse Territory, 75 percent more than the BLM’s recommended population of 2,690 animals. Normally, three to five of Oregon’s HMAs are gathered annually to remove excess animals and balance population numbers with the range’s capacity to sustain them.
