  • 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.

  • A Microsatellite Analysis of Five Colonial Spanish Horse Populations
    doi:10.1111/j.1365-2052.2011.02210.x A microsatellite analysis of five Colonial Spanish horse populations of the southeastern United States E. K. Conant, R. Juras and E. G. Cothran Department of Veterinary Integrative Biosciences, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843-4458, USA Summary The domestic horse (Equus caballus) was re-introduced to the Americas by Spanish explorers. Although horses from other parts of Europe were subsequently introduced, some New World populations maintain characteristics ascribed to their Spanish heritage. The southeastern United States has a history of Spanish invasion and settlement, and this influence on local feral horse populations includes two feral-recaptured breeds: the Florida Cracker and the Marsh Tacky, both of which are classified as Colonial Spanish horses. The feral Banker horses found on islands off the coast of North Carolina, which include, among others, the Shackleford Banks, the Corolla and the Ocracoke, are also Colonial Spanish horses. Herein we analyse 15 microsatellite loci from 532 feral and 2583 domestic horses in order to compare the genetic variation of these five Colonial Spanish Horse populations to 40 modern horse breeds. We find that the Corolla horse has very low heterozygosity and that both the Corolla and Ocracoke populations have a low mean number of alleles. We also find that the Florida Cracker population has a heterozygosity deficit. In addition, we find evidence of similarity of the Shackleford Banks, Marsh Tacky and Florida Cracker popula- tions to New World Iberian horse breeds, while the origins of the other two populations are less clear. Keywords feral horse, genetic distance, microsatellite, phylogeny.

  • Horse of the Americas Halter Class Judging Criteria
    http://www.horseoftheamericas.com/halter.htm Horse of the Americas Halter Class Judging Criteria The Horse of the Americas is descended from horses brought to the New World by the Spanish during their colonization of the Americas. As such, these horses are an ancient breed which does not conform to many of the standards used later by registries preserving western horse breeds based on short sprinter- type conformation. Bred for beauty and endurance, the Colonial Spanish Horse quickly adapted to the challenging environments of the American frontier; the heat of the Southwest, the wetlands of the Southeast and the near arctic winters of the High Plains and Northwest. These radically different climatic conditions forged different physical adaptations that must be taken into consideration in the judging of Colonial Spanish Horses, a much more physically variable breed than the more homozygous modern western horse breeds. There are basically three physical types of Colonial Spanish Horse: 1) the light or Southwestern type, 2) the median or Andalusian type and 3) the heavy or Northern type. However, even though these three types (and the combinations resulting from crossing these types) may appear quite different from one another, they have many physical characteristics in common. A physical description of the Colonial Spanish Horse, including similarities and differences in the types follows: HEAD: Three possible head profiles: concave, straight and convex. In general, the Northerns have a broader jaw and blunter muzzle than the Southwesterns. The head of the Southwestern type is often narrow and more triangular shaped when viewed from the front. EARS: The ear are medium to short, alert, often deeply hooked, also called "fox ears".

    Resolution ENROLLED SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 34 By: Ellis of the Senate and McDaniel (Curtis), and Lockhart of the House A Concurrent Resolution recognizing the Oklahoma Colonial Spanish horse as the Official Heritage Horse of Oklahoma; and directing distribution. WHEREAS, the Oklahoma Colonial Spanish horse, which originated from Spanish horses brought to the Americas with early settlers, is unique in its genetics, history, geography and contributions to the people of Oklahoma; and WHEREAS, the Oklahoma Colonial Spanish horse maintains 100 percent Spanish genetic markers and has been considered the purest free-roaming Colonial Spanish horse in the United States, and since 1980 their genetics have been preserved in the foundation herds of Bryant and Darlene Rickman of Southeastern Oklahoma; and WHEREAS, thousands of these Spanish horses were relocated in the 19th century to Indian Territory when tribal peoples were removed from their ancestral homes and were carefully bred and maintained by families who treasured them as cultural remnants and practical beasts of burden; and WHEREAS, these horses hovered on the brink of extinction following the Civil War and again in the 1970s; however, a number of families closely guarded large herds, insuring their preservation and preventing crossbreeding; and WHEREAS, due to the movement and demise of most of these families, numbers have dwindled, placing the horses on The Livestock Conservancy's Conservation Priority List for livestock breeds in danger of extinction; and WHEREAS, according to the Southwest Spanish Mustang Association, which works closely with The Livestock Conservancy to ensure the purity and survival of the Oklahoma Colonial Spanish horse, 800 - 900 of these registered horses remain alive today; and WHEREAS, with its rich heritage, resilience, and perseverance, the Oklahoma Colonial Spanish horse embodies the very spirit of Oklahoma and remains a living piece of state history.

Michaels* THREE ALTERNATIVES FOR MANAGING FREE-ROAMING HORSES AND BURROS: A LEGAL REFORM** ABSTRACT The Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act is overdue for repeal or revision. The Wild Horse and Burro Program is expensive for taxpayers, detrimental to rangelands, and harmful to the thousands of free-roaming equines it is intended to benefit. For nearly half a century, the Bureau of Land Management and United States Forest Service have struggled to balance the mandates of the Wild Free- Roaming Horses and Burros Act amidst a political and social climate that makes compliance impossible. Forty-six years after the Act was passed, the agencies are further from arriving at a solution than they have ever been. The time to change is now, and this article proposes solutions.
