Holsteiner
The Holsteiner horse is the
product of a systematic breeding from over 700 years ago in the Schleswig-Holstein
region of Northern Germany. The monasteries of the region conducted early
breeding of this breed, with a special emphasis on producing a graceful riding
and carriage horse that could also work the fields in the severe climate of the
area. Today, they are used as sport horses and have a reputation of being one of
the best.
Horse Miniature
The Miniature horse is
primarily just a smaller version of the full size horse. Many people prefer
Miniature horses because they require less space and food, but still offer many
joys for horse ownership. They can be used for showing and driving. Miniature
Horses can be registered with the American Miniature Horse Association.
Hucul
The Hucul (also called
Carpathian Pony) originated in Eastern Europe along the Carpathian Mountains.
Due to many border changes over the years in this area, both Poland and Romania
claim to be the countries of origin of this breed. Since this breed was
developed in harsh mountain conditions, it's sure-footed, strong and resilient
to illness and disease. In fact, this breed is able to live outside and find its
own food year around.
