    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.

Assessing Color and Breed In model horse competitions, the goal is to faithfully recreate the equestrian world in miniature. It is what exhibitors strive to do and what judges consider when evaluating a table of entries. One aspect of that evaluation is whether the color of the model is realistic. In order to assess this, a judge must be able to distinguish between visually similar (but often geneti- cally distinct) colors and patterns and determine whether or not the color depicted on the model is suitable for the breed the entrant has assigned. This task is complicated by the fact that many participants—who are at heart collectors as well as competitors—are attracted to pieces that are unique or unusual. So how does a judge determine which colors are legitimate for a particular breed and which are questionable or outright unrealistic? When it comes to the range of colors within each breed, there are three basic considerations. Breeds are limited by the genes present in the population (what is possible), by any restrictions placed by their registry (what is permissible), and by what is counted as a fault in breed competitions (what is penalized).

  • To See His Feature Story
    Gypsy stallion Gypsy MVP Sir Ivanhoe. at Magnolia Ranch Bellville, Texas / Katy, Texas By Helen Peppe ew people begin a business simply because they see a picture of a unique and breath- Ftaking horse on packaging at the feed store, but this is just how Gypsy MVP (Most Vanner Professional) began in 2001. Doug Kneis was in- nocently picking up treats for his Arabian when he saw the photo of a beautiful mystery horse. He went home and called the company who made the treat box, and, to make a short story even shorter, Doug and his wife Elaine learned how to close a deal with the Romany Gypsies: an old-fashioned handshake. Doug is now the owner of 40 Gypsy Vanners and a founding board member, as well as a lifetime member, of the Gypsy Vanner Horse Society (GVHS). He was integral in incorporating GVHS in 2002. Doug is also a lifetime member of the Gypsy Cob and Drum Horse Society as well as the Gypsy Cob Society. The 65-acre stable in Bellville, Texas, and a 16-acre haven for horses, Magnolia Ranch in Katy, Texas, are home to some of the most beautiful Photo: Jennifer Willkering/Gypsy MVP examples of the Gypsy Vanner breed. With savvy Magnolia Ranch, a sister stable to Gypsy MVP. A black agents in Belgium, France, and white roan piebald at 14.2 hands, Sir Ivanhoe is, the United Kingdom, and Doug says, “probably the best riding horse that we’ve Ireland, Doug and Elaine had with the exception of Dazzle Dance. He has the have imported many ex- best dressage gaits that we have ever seen.” Ivanhoe is ceptional Gypsy Vanners gentle and very willing to do whatever is asked of him, including their stallions moving naturally and powerfully, a strong candidate Sir Ivanhoe, Sir Maverick, for any riding discipline.
