  • 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.

  • Performance Nutrition: Providing the Management Tools to Support the Performance Horse Helping You Make the Best Management and Nutrition Decisions
    Performance Nutrition: Providing the Management Tools to Support the Performance Horse Helping You Make the Best Management and Nutrition Decisions Don Kapper: Retired, Director of Equine Nutrition of: Progressive Nutrition and Buckeye Nutrition Board Member: The American Hanoverian Society About Maturity and Growth Plates By Dr. Deb Bennett Owners and trainers need to realize there's a definite, easy-to-remember schedule of bone fusion. Make a decision when to ride the horse based on that rather than on the external appearance of the horse. For there are some breeds of horse--the Quarter Horse is the premier among these-- which have been bred in such a manner as to LOOK mature LONG before they actually ARE. This puts these horses in jeopardy from people who are either ignorant of the closure schedule, or more interested in their own schedule (racing, jumping, futurities or other competitions) than they are in the welfare of the animal. The process of fusion goes from the bottom up. In other words, the lower down toward the hooves, the earlier the growth plates will fuse--the higher up toward the animal's back you look, the later. The growth plate at the top of the coffin bone, in the hoof, is fused at birth. What this means is that the coffin bones get no TALLER after birth (they get much larger around, though, by another mechanism). That's the first one. In order after that: 2. Short pastern - top & bottom between birth and 6 mos. 3. Long pastern - top & bottom between 6 mos. and 1 yr.

  • Horse-Handling in Shakespeare's Poems And
    HORSE-HANDLING IN SHAKESPEARE’S POEMS AND RENAISSANCE CODES OF CONDUCT by Jonathan W. Thurston Master of Arts in English Middle Tennessee State University December 2016 Thesis Committee: Dr. Marion Hollings, Chair Dr. Kevin Donovan, Reader To Temerita, ever faithful. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS After the many hours, days, weeks, and months put into the creation of this thesis, I am proud to express my sincere gratitude to the people who have helped to shape, mold, and inspire the project. First, I owe innumerable thanks to Dr. Marion Hollings. This project started after our first meeting, at which time we discussed the horses of Shakespeare. Gradually, under her tutelage, the thesis was shaped into its current scope and organization. I have occupied her time during many an office hour and one coffee shop day out, discussing the intricacies of early modern equestrianism. She has been a splendid, committed, and passionate director, and I have learned a tremendous amount from her. Second, I would like to thank Dr. Kevin Donovan for his commitment to making the project as sharp and coherent as possible. His suggestions have proven invaluable, and his insight into Shakespearean scholarship has helped to mold this thesis into a well- researched document. Other acknowledgments go out to Dr. Lynn Enterline for teaching me the importance of understanding Italian and Latin for Renaissance texts; the Gay Rodeo Association for free lessons in equestrianism that aided in my embodied phenomenological approach; Sherayah Witcher for helping me through the awkward phrases and the transportation to campus to receive revisions of the drafts; and, finally, Temerita, my muse.

  • Horse Breeds in Medieval Role-Playing Games
    Horse Breeds in Medieval Role-playing Games Throughout the Middle Ages the horse was a powerful symbol of social differences but also a tool for the farmer, merchant and fighting classes. While the species varied considerably, as did their names, here is a summary of the main types encountered across Medieval Europe. Great Horse - largest (15-16 hands) and heaviest (1.5-2t) of horses, these giants were the only ones capable of bearing a knight in full plate armour. However such horses lacked speed and endurance. Thus they were usually reserved for tourneys and jousts. Modern equivalent would be a «shire horse». Mules - commonly used as a beast of burden (to carry heavy loads or pull wagons) but also occasionally as a mount. As mules are often both calmer and hardier than horses, they were particularly useful for strenuous support tasks, such as hauling supplies over difficult terrain. Hobby – a tall (13-14 hands) but lightweight horse which is quick and agile. Developed in Ireland from Spanish or Libyan (Barb) bloodstock. This type of quick and agile horse was popular for skirmishing, and was often ridden by light cavalry. Apparently capable of covering 60-70 miles a single day. Sumpter or packhorse - a small but heavier horse with excellent endurance. Used to carry baggage, this horse could be ridden albeit uncomfortably. The modern equivalent would be a “cob” (2-3 mark?). Rouncy - a smaller and well-rounded horse that was both good for riding and carrying baggage. Its widespread availability ensured it remained relatively affordable (10-20 marks?) compared to other types of steed.

The earlier series illustrates the elegant, but textually absurd, Chaucer folio edited by John Urry. Published in 1721, it is accessible today in major libraries. 2 The later series, never published, consists of brown wash drawings com- pleted in 1781 by James Jefferys, a prolific young artist who died soon thereafter.

  • The Conestoga Horse by JOHN STROHM (1793-1884) and HERBERT H
    The Conestoga Horse By JOHN STROHM (1793-1884) AND HERBERT H. BECK. The Conestoga horse and the Conestoga wagon were evolved in and about that part of southeastern Pennsylvania which, before it was named Lancaster County, was known as Conestoga. The region was named for a river that has its main springhead in Turkey Hill, Caernarvon Township, whencc it crosses the Berks County line for a short distance and then returns into Lan- caster County to cross it, in increasing volume, passing the county seat, to flow between Manor and Conestoga townships into the Susquehanna. The names Conestoga and Lancaster County are inseparably connected in historical records. Unlike the Conestoga wagon, which was known under that name as early as 1750,1 and whose fame still lives in history and in actual form in museums, the Conestoga horse—a thing of flesh—was not preserved and is now nearly forgotten. The undoubted fact that the Conestoga horse was famous in its day and way warrants a compilation of available records of that useful animal. Nor could this subject be more fittingly treated in any other community than in the Conestoga Valley. The writer qualifies himself for his subject by the statement that he has been a horseman most of his life; that he has driven many hundreds of miles in buggy, runabout and sleigh; and ridden many thousands of miles on road and trail, and in the hunting field and the show ring. Between 1929 and 1940 he was riding master at Linden Hall School for Girls at Lititz, where he Instituted and carried on an annual horse show.

  • Galloping Onto the Throne: Queen Elizabeth I and the Symbolism of the Horse
    Heidegger 1 Galloping onto the Throne: Queen Elizabeth I and the Symbolism of the Horse University of California, San Diego, Department of History, Undergraduate Honors Thesis By: Hannah von Heidegger Advisor: Ulrike Strasser, Ph.D. April 2019 Heidegger 2 Introduction As she prepared for the impending attack of the Spanish Armada, Queen Elizabeth I of England purportedly proclaimed proudly while on horseback to her troops, “I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too.”1 This line superbly captures the two identities that Elizabeth had to balance as a queen in the early modern period: the limitations imposed by her sex and her position as the leader of England. Viewed through the lens of stereotypical gender expectations in the early modern period, these two roles appear incompatible. Yet, Elizabeth I successfully managed the unique path of a female monarch with no male counterpart. Elizabeth was Queen of England from the 17th of November 1558, when her half-sister Queen Mary passed away, until her own death from sickness on March 24th, 1603, making her one of England’s longest reigning monarchs. She deliberately avoided several marriages, including high-profile unions with Philip II of Spain, King Eric of Sweden, and the Archduke Charles of Austria. Elizabeth’s position in her early years as ruler was uncertain due to several factors: a strong backlash to the rise of female rulers at the time; her cousin Mary Queen of Scots’ Catholic hereditary claim; and her being labeled a bastard by her father, Henry VIII.
