    List of horse breeds

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Light or saddle horse breeds

    Heavy or draft horse breeds

    This page is a list of horse and pony breeds, and also includes terms for 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. The concept is
    somewhat flexible in horses, 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 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.

    For additional information, see horse breed, horse breeding, and the individual
    articles listed below. Additional articles may be listed under Category:Horse
    breeds and Category:Types of horse.
