There are 267 breeds of horses in this world, and this is far too many to try to list. Try typing "horse breeds" on your browser and you will see listed all 267 of them, most with pictures. It's a very interesting site. If you don't know how to do it, have someone help you find it.

[edit] Pony breedsMain article: Pony

Ponies are usually classified as animals that mature at less than 14.2 hands. However, some pony breeds may occasionally have individuals who mature over 14.2 but retain all other breed characteristics. There are also some breeds that now frequently mature over 14.2 hands due to modern nutrition and management, yet retain the historic classification "pony." For the purposes of this list, if a breed registry classifies the breed as a "pony," it is listed here as such, even if some individuals have horse characteristics.

(Please note: Because of this designation by the preference of a given breed registry, most miniature horse breeds are listed as "horses," not ponies)

[edit] Color "breeds"Main article: Color breed

There are some registries that accept horses (and sometimes ponies and mules) of almost any breed or type for registration. Color is either the only criterion for registration or the primary criterion. These are called "color breeds," because unlike "true" horse breeds, there are few other physical requirements, nor is the stud book limited in any fashion. As a general rule, the color also does not always breed on (in some cases due to genetic impossibility), and offspring without the stated color are usually not eligible for recording with the color breed registry. The best-known color breed registries are for the following colors:

  • Buckskin (horse)
  • Palomino
  • Pinto horse
  • White (horse)s are registered in the United States with the American creme and white horse registry, which was once called an "Albino" registry until it was understood that true albino does not exist in horses. (see White (horse) for details)

There are breeds that have color that usually breeds "true" as well as distinctive physical characteristics and a limited stud book. These horses are true breeds that have a preferred color, not color breeds, and include the Friesian horse, the Cleveland Bay, the Appaloosa, and the American Paint Horse.

[edit] Types of horses

A "type" of horse is not a breed but is simply a term used to describe a group of breeds that are similar in appearance (phenotype) or use. A type usually has no breed registry, and often encompasses several breeds. Horses of a given type may be registered as one of several different recognized breeds, or a term may include horses that are of no particular pedigree but meet a certain standard of appearance or use.

[edit] Modern types
  • AQPS ("Autre Que Pur-Sang"), French designation for riding horses "other than Thoroughbred," usually referring to the Anglo-Arabian, Selle Francais and other Thoroughbred crosses.
  • Baroque horse, includes heavily muscled, powerful, yet agile Classical dressage breeds such as the Lipizzaner, Friesian, Andalusian, and Lusitano.
  • Cob (horse)
  • Canadian Cutting Horse
  • Colonial Spanish Horse, the original Jennet-type horse brought to North America, now with a number of modern descendants with various breed names.
  • Draft horse or Draught horse
  • Feral horse, a horse living in the wild, but descended from once-domesticated ancestors. Most "wild" horses today are actually feral. The only true wild (never domesticated) horse in the world today is the Przewalski's horse.
  • Gaited horse, term used to describe any of a number of breeds with an intermediate speed four-beat ambling gait, including the Tennessee Walker, Paso Fino, and many others.
  • German Warmblood or ZfDP, collective term for any of the various warmblood horses of Germany, of which some may be registered with the nation-wide German Horse Breeding Society (ZfDP).
  • Grade horse, a term used to describe a horse of unknown or mixed breed parentage.
  • Hack, a basic riding horse, particularly in the UK, also includes Show hack horses used in competition.
  • Heavy warmblood, heavy carriage and riding horses, predecessors to the modern warmbloods, several old-style breeds still in existence today.
  • Hunter, a type of jumping horse, either a show hunter or a field hunter
  • Hunter pony, a show hunter or show jumping animal under 14.2 hands, may be actually of a horse or pony breed, height determines category of competition.
  • Iberian horse, encompassing horse and pony breeds developed in the Iberian peninsula, including the Andalusian, Alter Real, Lusitano and others.
  • Iranian horse, a subgroup of horse breeds believed to have developed from ancestral Persian stock
  • Mountain and moorland or "M&M" is a general term which covers several breeds of horse native to the British Isles.
  • Riding Pony, a term used in the United Kingdom to describe certain types of show ponies.
  • Sport horse or Sporthorse, includes any breeds suitable for use in assorted international competitive disciplines governed by the FEI.
  • Stock horse, heavily-muscled riding horses of several different breeds, suitable for working cattle. Not to be confused with the breed Australian Stock Horse
  • Warmblood, a group of Sport horse breeds developed for modern Dressage and other Olympic disciplines, including the Dutch Warmblood, Hanoverian (horse), Swedish Warmblood, Westphalian (horse), etc.
  • Windsor Grey, the gray carriage horses of British Royalty.
[edit] Archaic typesSee also: Horses in Warfare and Horses in the Middle Ages

Prior to approximately the 13th century, few pedigrees were written down, and horses were classified by physical type or use. Thus, many terms for Horses in the Middle Ages did not describe breeds as we know them today, but rather described appearance or purpose. These terms included:

  • Charger, see Courser (horse)
  • Courser (horse)
  • Destrier or "Great Horse"
  • Hobby, see Irish Hobby
  • Jennet, sometimes called Spanish Jennet
  • Palfrey
  • Rouncey
[edit] Extinct species and breeds

These horses and ponies either were a recognized, distinct breed of horse that no longer exists as such, or are a species of equus caballus that has become extinct at some point since domestication of the horse. This section does not include any species within evolution of the horse prior to modern equus caballus.

[edit] The "Four Foundations" wild prototypesMain articles: Evolution of the horse#The "Four Foundations" theory and Domestication of the horse

These are the original wild prototypes from which domesticated breeds are believed to have developed.

  • "Warmblood subspecies" or Forest Horse, also called Diluvial horse (Equus ferus silvaticus)
  • "Oriental" subspecies, (Equus agilis)
  • "Draft" subspecies
  • Tarpan subspecies
[edit] Extinct breeds

These were human-developed breeds, now no longer in existence

  • Chapman horse
  • Ferghana horse
  • Galloway pony
  • Karacabey (horse)
  • Irish Hobby
  • Jennet, or Spanish Jennet
  • Mazury (horse)
  • Narragansett Pacer
  • Neapolitan horse
  • Nisean horse
  • Norfolk Trotter, also called the Norfolk Roadster, Yorkshire Trotter or Yorkshire Roadster
  • Öland horse
  • Old English Black horse
  • Pozan
  • Tundra Horse
  • Turkoman Horse also known as Turkemene. The Akhal-Teke may be a direct descendant.
  • Yorkshire Coach Horse
