Horse Breeds

I got a comment earlier this week about my post Big, Bigger, Biggest. It seems that the record for the world's tallest horse is a moving target

Okay, so it was a pretty exciting game, even for non-football fanatics.

But admit it. Equestrians everywhere were waiting to see what Budweiser had in store for their Clydesdales.

Jamaica, a 17-year old Dutch Warmblood, nearly ended up on a dinner plate in Belgium. Instead, he flourished as one horse in Chester Weber's four-in-hand combined driving team and has now received the ultimate honor.

I frequently see questions on on-line forums where people ask if they are too large or too heavy for their horse.

No, this image is not photo shopped. This amazing but natural coat belongs to Eclyse the zorse.  I've seen Zebra-Horse crosses (also called a Zorse) before but never one that looks like this one.

I’ve been wondering recently what Marianna Wood and Elmer Bandit have planned for the 2009 competitive trail riding season.

Not all horses are interchangeable -- as the folks in this funny dutch commercial discover.

I spent several days between Christmas and New Year's  in New York City.

Eddie, a horse in Wyoming, survived a 3.3-mile swim through an irrigation tunnel after being sucked into the intake valve. Eddie was found -- relatively unscathed -- two days after disappearing under water.

There hasn’t been much in the news about Elmer Bandit, the 38 year old Arab-cross who set a world record last year for competitive trail ride miles.
