    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.

    1 AFWHS NEWSLETTER – WINTER 2019 AFWHS Inc NEWSLETTER Above: Maria Trott and Shepherds Hill Nathaniel at the 2019 Kempsey Show, NSW. Photo Credit: Rhiannon * WINTER 2019 * 2 AFWHS NEWSLETTER – WINTER 2019 CHAIRPERSONS REPORT: Hi everyone, Firstly, as this is the first newsletter since the 2019 Annual General Meeting (AGM), thank you for trusting me to continue in the role of Chairperson of the AFWHS Inc. again! It is a privilege and a pleasure to be able to continue to lead and represent the Society. One of the very rewarding parts of this role is the opportunity to work with some wonderful people on the Committee. I'd like to welcome some familiar faces back to the Committee this year, welcome our new Committee members, and wish our outgoing Committee members all the best! It is important to acknowledge my sincere thanks to the Committee members that I have been privileged to work with so far ... and to thank our new Committee members for their willingness to take up Committee roles. As I reported at our recent AGM, a highlight of this past year has been the 'community' spirit of some of our former committee and member volunteers who have provided invaluable support to the committee, and subsequently to members throughout the year. I’d particularly like to acknowledge Tina Grech and Jodie Sokaluk for their volunteering (respectively) to produce the Society’s newsletters; coordinate the annual Hi-Point Award and Roll of Merit; and manage the merchandise for the Society. I’d also like to personally thank Lyn Prescott and Tina Grech for always being so willing to offer and provide information in respect of administrative and registration processes: this has been much appreciated and has helped to guide the committee in providing sound continuity and consistency of business for members.

With our first Schooling Show complete, we’re gearing up for the USDF/USEF Recognized Show. Last year was our first attempt at a Recognized Show, and it was a big success. It’s a lot of work, and the rules and requirements are much more complex than for our Schooling Shows, but we’re hoping that things will run smoothly this year as well.
