Hackney Horse
 Both the Hackney horse and
pony were bred for their performance under harness. They were developed in the
18th century in Great Britain and their development followed the improvement of
the public roadways. The name "Hackney" comes from the French word
Hacquenee derived from the Latin word for horse, equus.
Haflinger
 The Haflinger is an old breed
of small horse that originated in the mountains of the Austrian Tyrol about
1874. The name comes from the village of Hafling now located in Italy, but part
of Austria prior to the end of World War I. The Haflinger is a model all-around
horse that has been developed and maintained as an ideal family pleasure horse.
Half-Arabian
 A Half-Arabian is any horse
with one registered purebred Arabian parent. The other parent may be any
non-Arabian horse. The exception is an Arabian-Thoroughbred, which is registered
as an Anglo-Arabian horse. Each horse is unique, bringing together the traits of
two separate breeds. The most prominent Arabian characteristics passed on to
Half-Arabian offspring are beauty, elegance, athletic ability, endurance,
enthusiasm, versatility and intelligence.
Hanoverian Horse
 About 400 years ago in the
former Kingdom of Hanover, today it is Lower Saxony, in northern Germany, a
flourishing horse-breeding industry existed. The Hanoverian horse was developed
there and since that time has been dispersed to all five continents. Today, it
is one of the most prominent breeds of riding horses in the world. These horses
are known for natural balance and floating trot.
Highland Pony
 The Highland Pony is native
to the mountainous areas of Scotland and as a long history that dates back to
the 1880's. In the past, this breed was used on small farms. The Highland Pony
makes an ideal all-round family pony, able to tackle most things but not a
specialist in any. However, they do stand out in their ability to carry the
heaviest load or person over the roughest and steepest ground.
