  • 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.

Drift down to the wreck or the reef. Or maybe towards some rock formations, sculpted long before a cavern flooded. The slightest kick sends your shadow gliding across the bottom. A whisper of breath buoys you up, chasing a flash of color. Immersed, you hover, freed from the gravity and worries of the noisy surface. Diving is as close as most of us will ever come to a spacewalk. But passion for the underwater world traces back much further than the first moon landing. Ancient Greeks held their breath to plunge Gran Cenote, Riviera for pearls and sponges—and legend claims one Maya, Mexico. breathed through a reed while he cut the moorings of the Persian fleet.

Three hundred years later, technology leapt forward as scientists discovered the effects of water pressure and breathing compressed air. The U.S. military pioneered scuba (Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus) in 1939, then Émile Gagnan and Jacques-Yves Cousteau took the idea mainstream with their 1943 “Aqua-Lung.” Earth’s final frontier, the mysterious wine-dark sea, was open for business.
