Breeds

There are hundreds of different breeds of horses. The following list specifies a few:

• American Paint Horse
• American Quarter Horse
• American Saddlebred
• American Shetland
• American Warmblood
• Andalusian 
• Arabian
• Belgian
• Clydesdale
• Haflinger
• Hanoverian
• Miniature Horse 
• Morgan
• Mustang
• Paso Fino
• Tennessee Walking Horse
• Thoroughbred
• Trakehner 

If a horse only has one type of breeding, it is considered a purebred.  Most purebreds need to be registered in order to prove their breeding.  Registering also lists if the animal is truly considered a "horse" or "pony."  I will explain the difference between the two in my next post.

I personally have Quarter Horses and Miniature Horses. The Quarter Horses names' are Just Plain Jane and Incredible Josie (referred to as Jane and Josie).  My Miniature Horses common names' (also known as barn names) are Angel, Biscuit, Honey, Sonny, Peanut, and Little Foot.
