Horse
Breeds
There
are an incredible number of horse breeds out there. I truly feel
none are better than the others since I love all horses.
There are breeds that are better at some things than others and
more suited to a particular discipline. Some people love
certain breeds because of their beauty or intelligence. When
you purchase your horse, study the breeds and their
characteristics and make an intelligent choice for you. Some
of the best horses I have ever owned were cross breeds. The
decision is all yours.
I
will keep a few of the more common breeds on the site all the
time. I will add new and unusual breeds every month.
Arabian:

most of today's modern breeds. It is of the purest descent and is
thought to be the most ancient of equines.
Description:
The Arabian is one of the most beautiful and graceful of all
horses. The Arabian has a unique outline that is governed by
the proportions and the skeletal structure. The average size
is between 14.2 and 15 hands tall. Other breeds have 18
ribs,6 lumbar bones and 18 tail vertebrae. The Arabian had
17-5-16 structure. Arabians are noted for incredible stamina
and soundness. This is one of the reasons they have become
so popular with endurance and competitive trail exhibitors.
This breed has a short strong back, rounded ribs, flat croup and a
deep heart girth. His beautiful head has a dished profile
with a small tapered muzzle and large expressive eyes.
