ID I have the h onor to transmit for your information and that of the Congress of the United States a report consisting of a number of communications on the subject of the d emand for American horses a in cert in countries of Europe . At the time of assuming office as S ecretary of Agriculture I was already much impressed with the necessity of an output abro ad for d our surplus horse pro uction . For some time previous ext raordi naril h ad a d and y low prices prev ile for horses in this country , horse breeders and horse raisers throughout the country were correspond in l d d g y epresse . It is quite possible that in this apparent cause for d a a was a d iscour gement there re lly blessing in isguise , for it is prob ably d u e to these extremely low prices that the first impetus to t h e . d d w a a a d ue . a a foreign em n for Americ n horses s Wh tever the c use , the figures which I have the honor to submit at the close of this com m u nicat ion a ad a a d will show th t the export tr e in Americ n horses , h r ly a om a a o h as ad a d a d d . more th n begun s e five ye rs g , v nce with r pi stri es was a d d My first thought th t to evelop this opening , which presente so u r d a d a was a itself opportunely to o much iscour ge horse r isers , d a d and was d a uty which this Dep rtment owe to them , I convince th t the most useful service it could render them was to gather from all available sources whatever information could be procured as to t h e character and extent of the d emand existing abroad for horses of all n d w a a u n rofit kinds . Without such k owle ge it as obvious th t m ny p a d ad and a a s ble shipments woul be m e , not only c use loss to the hip and d a a d a pers consequent iscour gement , but , by pl cing un esir ble a a d a a a a a d o nim ls , un esir ble t le st from the Europe n st n point , in f reign a d a a a d a d m rkets , iss tisf ction mong foreign buyers woul be gener te nd d l a O pinions unfavorable to the American horses woul resu t , thus d ad perhaps seriously retar ing t h e development of this export tr e , if did it not altogether arrest it . Actuate d by this thought I end eavored to interest our represent atives abroad and American citizens going abroad in the gathering of 3 4 E T T E R O F T R AN M T L S I T A L . a as - inform tion to the extent of the d emand in horse importing c ountries , and as a d and to the v rious kin s of horses wanted in thos e countries , the distinguishing c haracteristics to which foreign buye rs attach a . a e a a a a import nce As r sult , l rge numbe r of c ommunic tions h ve d at a c e and been receive this Dep rtment from a variety of sour s , I a a c d d a wa h ve , fter some reflection , con lu e th t the best y to present this inform ation to the public is to submit all thes e co mm unica a a a tions , in the form of speci l report to you , for tr nsmission to Congress with the recommend ation that that honorable body should d a or er the s me printed for distribution to their constituents . As a ad a su m convenience to the re er of this report , I present here a a d a c d m ry of the inform tion collecte by these v rious orrespon ents , but as each one pursued his own investigations ind epend ently and d a as was a a e a c a presente such f cts he ble to g ther , oft n c omp nying a a n a them with st teme t of his impressions on the subject , I h ve d d a c a a eeme it best to present e ch ommunic tion in full , elimin ting nothing save in the case of a few correspond ents who added other a m tter not strictly pertinent to the subject of this report , viz , the i d emand for American horses in European countries . Follow ng the a a ad d summ ry lre y referre to , I present some tables showing the num ber and value of horses exported from this country to Europe d u r r ffi ing the p ast five years . These figures a e amply su cient to satisfy d a a d a d everyone who stu ies them th t em n exists in Europe , which d afi o rd a a shoul not only encouragement to Americ n horse r isers , but should convinc e them th at it is well worth their while to study cl osely the character of this demand in ord er that they m ay be prepared to can a a meet it . I not reiter te too strongly my conviction th t in this , as i n all a ad d a the other br nches of our export tr e , the nee s , the t stes , and even the fancies of the foreign consumers must be carefully d d and ff d b e ad a d stu ie , every e ort shoul m e by Americ n pro ucers to d a can a d meet them . There is little oubt th t we raise s goo horses and a as a as an a r ise them che ply in this country in y Europe n country , and far more cheaply than in those countries that are obliged to import horses to satisfy their own requirements . a Another point d eserves attention . It is of p ar mount importance that n o diseased animals should by any chance be land ed in foreign d l aw a ports from these shores . Un er the present the uthority to inspect d a and horses for export is veste in this Dep rtment , the Chief of the ‘ Bureau of Animal Industry h as already taken the necessary steps to N o t establish a proper system of inspection . only is this precaution d ue to the foreign buyers who seek to enlarge their trade relations with h d u s is a d u e a . a , but it lso to our reput tion In t ese ys , moreover , when prod ucers in m any countries seem anim ated by a determination to obstruct by every means available to them the imports into their own ca d an a e ce country of Ameri n pro ucts , it becomes bsolute n ssity for us , E T T E R F T RA M T T A L O N S I L . 5 if we are to successfully develop an export trade for any of our pro d a d a a d ucts , to be prep re to gu r ntee their wholesomeness , soun ness , nd d a perfect free om from every sort of contagion . S d e d a d a a r houl Congr ss conclu e , in ccor nce with my e rnest e com me nd at ion a d a , to publish this report for gener l istribution , I h ve the honor to request that not less than copies be placed at the disposal of the Secretary of Agriculture for d istribution through this Department .

    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.

  • Tail Docking in Horses: a Review of the Issues
    Animal (2007), 1:8, pp 1167–1178 & The Animal Consortium 2007 animal doi: 10.1017/S1751731107000420 Tail docking in horses: a review of the issues - D. Lefebvre1 , D. Lips2,F.O.O¨ dberg4 and J. M. Giffroy3 1Animal Welfare Counci-Ministry of Social Affair, Food Chain Security and Environment-DG4 (CITES and Animal Welfare), 40 Place Victor Horta, 1060 Bruxelles, Belgium; 2Centre for Science, Technology and Ethics-Kasteelpark Arenberg 30, 3001 Leuven, Belgium; 3Department of Anatomy and Ethology of Domestic Animals, Faculties of Namur, 6 rue Muzet, 5000 Namur, Belgium; 4Department of Animal Nutrition, Genetics and Ethology, Ghent University, Heidestraat 19, 9820 Merelbeke, Belgium (Received 30 November 2006; Accepted 24 May 2007) Routinely performed painful procedures are of increasing interest and, in 2001 (Royal Order, May 17), Belgium prohibited docking in several vertebrates including horses. In 2004, opponents to this decision submitted a Bill (Doc51 0969/001) to Parliament, intending to obtain derogation for Belgian draught horses, which were traditionally docked. The Animal Welfare Council of Belgium, an official body advising the Minister of Public Health, was asked to evaluate this complex question, including biological, ethical and socio-economic aspects, on the basis of the available peer-reviewed studies. In this context, this study reviews legal aspects (overview of the European legislation), zootechnic aspects (uses of the Belgian draught horse) and biological aspects (pain potentially related to docking; horses’ welfare linked to insect harassment and hygiene, communication and reproduction) of tail docking in draught horses. We conclude that (1) there is no benefit for horses in tail docking, including Belgian draught horses, (2) potential advantages of docking are essentially in favour of humans and these advantages could be scrupulously re-evaluated, taking into account practices of other countries.

  • Equine Polysaccharide Storage Myopathy
    IN-DEPTH: MUSCLE DISORDERS Polysaccharide Storage Myopathy Stephanie J. Valberg, DVM, PhD, Diplomate ACVIM Polysaccharide storage myopathy is a common cause of exertional rhabdomyolysis, muscle soreness, and weakness. The primary breeds affected are Quarter Horses, draft horses, and Warmblood breeds. In Quarter Horses, the disease is known to have a genetic basis. Providing a diet low in starch and high in fat and fiber in addition to gradually introducing daily exercise dramatically improves clinical signs.

Cattle, goats, sheep, pigs, poultry and other livestock have been an essential part of agriculture and our history as a nation. With the change of agriculture from a way of life to a successful industry, we are losing our agricultural roots. Although we descend from a nation of farmers, few of us can name more than a handful of livestock breeds that are important to our production of food and fiber.

  • The Effect of the Size and Shape of Chestnuts on the Identification of Horses
    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS AGRICULTURAE ET SILVICULTURAE MENDELIANAE BRUNENSIS Volume LX 3 Number 6, 2012 THE EFFECT OF THE SIZE AND SHAPE OF CHESTNUTS ON THE IDENTIFICATION OF HORSES I. Bihuncová, E. Sobotková, T. Petlachová, M. Píšová, M. Kosťuková, H. Černohorská Received: July 10, 2012 Abstract BIHUNCOVÁ, I., SOBOTKOVÁ, E., PETLACHOVÁ, T., PÍŠOVÁ, M., KOSŤUKOVÁ, M., ČERNOHORSKÁ, H.: The eff ect of the size and shape of chestnuts on the identifi cation of horses. Acta univ. agric. et silvic. Mendel. Brun., 2012, LX, No. 6, pp. 21–32 A study was carried out on 11 horse breeds comprising of the Akhal Teke (n = 23); English Thoroughbred (n = 23); Arabian Thoroughbred (n = 18); Czech Warm-Blood (n = 21); Old Kladrubian horse (n = 20); Hucul horse (n = 20); Czech – Moravian Belgian horse (n = 20); Noriker horse (n = 7); Silesian Noriker (n = 14); Hafl inger (n = 20); Shetland pony (n = 20) to determine the shape and size of chestnuts. Chestnuts of 206 horses classifi ed in three phylogeny classes were measured and drawn. The necessary data (breed; sex; name; sire; dam; sire of dam; age of horse; colour of horse; colour of the chestnut; bone) were entered into a special form. In the form the outlines of the shapes of the chestnuts were drawn; using a calliper we measured the protrusion of the chestnut at its highest point and the width at the widest part of the chestnut. We found no identical or similar shapes of the chestnuts within the breed or phylogeny class. We confi rmed that the outlines of the chestnuts can be used as identifying marks because they are unique for each horse.

Horses of Eastern Europe and Russia The following breeds span a large territory, starting in Eastern Europe and ending at the edges of Siberia. This includes the former USSR, which is important due to the exchanges that took place for decades among these various countries. These regions of the world, like Southern Europe, have an extraordinary diversity of horse breeds, which are still little known outside their borders. Russia, in particular, is a rich equestrian land, and although more curious riders may have heard of the best-known breeds (like the Orlov and the Don), these horses are still not bred elsewhere in the world. These breeds do, however, have quite interesting specific characteristics, notably their ability to endure very cold temperatures.
