Regard- ing the origin of Iberian breeds, two studies of the ori- gin and history of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) lineages (Cieslak et al. 2010; Lira et al. 2010) have raised the possibility of the existence of an indepen- dent domestication episode in the Iberian Peninsula, or at least, the use of wild Iberian maternal lineages in a process of restocking populations. In this regard, a study employing nuclear markers (Warmuth et al. 2011) has suggested that the Iberian Peninsula as well as the steppes of Eastern Europe may have been refuges during the Holocene, from which were Figure 1 A typical purebred male Pottoka pony. derived the equine populations of the central and northern Europe.

The ancestry of the ENH is debated, including alleged claims about direct descendance from the extinct Tarpan. Here we conducted a detailed analysis of the genetic makeup and relationships of the ENH based on the genotypes of 15 autosomal short tandem repeats (STRs), 18 Y chromosomal single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), mitochondrial D-loop sequence and lateral gait allele in DMRT3.

    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.

  • The Fell Ponies of the English Landscape
    The Fell Ponies of the English Landscape Fell Ponies in their natural habitat which demands hardiness! Photo by Sabine Hoff One of the few breeds of pony still running in semi-feral (wild) herds, Fell ponies derive their name from the landscape on which they survive. Named after the Norse word for "hill", the northern fells of England have been home to this type of pony for nearly 2000 years. Historically the breed originates from northern England and the Scottish border. The forts along Hadrian’s Wall were garrisoned for four centuries with Roman auxiliary troops. Roman military inscriptions show that French, Dutch, German, Polish, Spanish and eastern European cavalrymen were posted here to help maintain law and order, and with them came various foreign stallions native to the mercenaries’ homelands. These horses, ranging from slender Arab types to coarser Friesian workhorses, may well have been used both during and after the occupation to breed and produce an assortment of types in Romanized Britain. It's believed that crosses between these and the native Celtic pony have influenced many of some modern native breeds, including the Fell pony. Anything over 13.2 hands was not suited to the conditions on the Northern Fells and such larger animals could only survive with extra feeding. Despite being crossed with larger foreign stallions, natural selection stabilized the breed as a pony. The average size of a Fell is 13.2, with the maximum height being no more than 14 hands. The breed has four acceptable coat colors and is renowned for its silky leg feathering and profuse mane and tail.

  • The Effect on Performance in Descendents of New Forest Pony Stallions, That Have the Clc-1 Gene Mutations That Leads to Congenit
    The effect on performance in sports in descendents of CLCN1 gene mutation carrier New Forest pony stallions Authors: D.M. Dickhoff; I.D. Wijnberg Abstract Aim of the study: To determine if ponies descending from a CLCN1 gene mutation carrier stallion perform better in sports, compared to ponies that do not descent from a CLCN1 gene mutation carrier stallion. Study design: Data analysis of 11.414 New Forest ponies, in which the relationship between the descent of the ponies and their sport performance are analyzed. Methods: Ponies were divided in jumping, dressage and eventing categories. They were listed categorically from the lowest category to the highest and descendents from mutation carrier stallions were marked. Statistical analysis with logistic regression between the sport categories and within the categories has been performed using SPSS version 19. Significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: Ponies descending from a mutation carrying stallion are significantly better performing in jumping. The odds of finding a descent in the highest jumping category is 7.6 compared to the lowest. In dressage, descendents from a gene mutation carrier stallion are performing significantly better, with an odds of 4.1 for performing in the highest category. In eventing, the odds of finding a descendent from a mutation carrying stallion in the highest category is 2.9 compared to the lowest. Conclusion and clinical relevance: Ponies that are descendants of a mutation carrying stallion are performing significantly better in jumping, dressage and eventing. This conclusion might lead to breeding programs which includes stallions who carry this mutation, aiming to breed better performing ponies in equine sports, which is in contrast of the aim of the Studbook to eradicate the mutation.

    NFNPA 391/11 Annex 2 GUIDELINES FOR HORSE-RELATED DEVELOPMENT SUPPLEMENTARY PLANNING DOCUMENT (SPD) STATEMENT OF CONSULTATION – SEPTEMBER 2011 Before a Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) can be formally adopted, Regulation 17(1)(b) of the Town & Country Planning (Local Development) (England) Regulations 2004 requires the National Park Authority to prepare a statement setting out who was consulted in connection with the preparation of the SPD; how they were consulted; a summary of the main issues raised in these consultations; and how these issues have been addressed in the Supplementary Planning Document. This ‘Statement of Consultation’ fulfils these regulatory requirements. Details of the consultation to inform preparation of the draft SPD The preparation of the draft Guidelines for Horse-Related Development Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) was been informed by consultation linked to the adoption of the National Park Authority’s Core Strategy and Development Management Policies DPD (adopted December 2010), and the work of the independent New Forest Equine Forum. During the 12 week public consultation on the National Park Authority’s consultation draft National Park Plan between August and November 2008, representations were received from over 7,500 individuals (including 7,000 names on a petition) on the proposed planning policies relating to recreational horse keeping and associated development. This significant volume of responses included: . The call for the policies on recreational horse keeping to have due regard to the second statutory Park purposes and the related socio-economic duty; . General support for the aims of reducing the visual and environmental impacts on the New Forest’s landscape; and . A view that the level of clarity and detail required would be better provided in the form of a Supplementary Planning Document, as has been prepared by a number of other local planning authorities.
