Hi Lilly
I really like the fjord horse pictures. They are definitely one of my favourite horse breeds. Maybe one day we can travel to Iceland and ride Icelandic horses together:-)
There are many breeds of horses. William the Conqueror brought the
Hucul horse to England. It was one of the most popular and longest-running.
It was taller than the standard Plow horse and had strong
hindquarters and strong muscles. It was also renowned for its endurance, stability and the ability to withstand
any situation. This breed is available in a variety of shades from black
to bay, and is considered the most adaptable.
Although horses are generally taller than humans However,
certain breeds of horses are more suitable for children than others, such as
ponies. The standard for ponies is 14 inches tall, but
there are exceptions, like Miniature Horses and Icelandic horses.
Ponies are smaller than larger breeds, making them easier to handle.
Apart from being smaller, ponies also have a longer and broader neck which makes them perfect for children.
The Thoroughbred is another well-known breed of horse.
They are popular in short races in the US and make excellent show horses and jumpers.
They are also extremely adaptable and have a long
history in American culture. The American Quarter Horse is a suitable choice for family use and is the most
popular horse breed in the United States.
This breed is estimated to be home to more than three million horses.
They range from eight to sixteen hands tall, which makes them an an excellent choice for both riding and as a pet for the family.
Modern Appaloosa horses are very popular. They are small and compact, with spotted coats that make them suitable for children and adults.
The breed is similar to Quarter horses in conformation however,
it’s not as common in solid colors. Appaloosas have distinct spots and are more likely
to be apricot, chestnut, or brown than a quarter horse.
The Appaloosa horse has a very long tail, making it very similar to the Quarter horse.
