Hi my name is Annie Costanzo. I created this to help you
found the type of horse breed and what they are and about that you are
looking for. I will put
them in ABC order to help you find them easier. I will give you an
example how my following pages will work.
I wil like my favories horse and what some infor about them and out the
link when I found the information, so if you want yo learn more about
that breed you can.
My favorite horses are:
Appaloosa Horse: The Spanish introduced
horses to Mexico in the 1500s, and spotted horses have been depicted in images as far
back as prehistoric cave paintings. However, it wasn't until the 1700s
when horses first reached Northwest America that horses with Appaloosa
coloring gained recognition in the United States.
Arabian: Theorized to be the oldest breed in the world,
Arabians were constant companions of the first documented breeders of
the Arabian horse, the Bedouin people,who are nomadic tribesmen of Arabia who
relied on the horse for survival.
Miniature Horse: The Miniature Horse traces its history back to the 17th century in Europe, when oddities and unusual animals were talking points among nobility. Less refined Minis were employed as “pit ponies” working and living inside mines. Minis were imported to America in the 1930s to work in the coal mines.
Morgan:Not many horse lovers have escaped childhood without reading Marguerite Henry’s non-fiction book about Figure, the very first Morgan, owned by school teacher Justin Morgan in West Springfield, Mass., in 1789.
This gentle little stallion was given to the school teacher for payment of a debt.
Mustang:Mustang is a derivative of the Spanish word mesteña, which means wild or stray. Horses roamed America 10,000 years ago but vanished from the
landscape until the Spanish conquistadors arrived in the 16th century with their horses of Barb decent.
Pony of the Americas:The first Pony of the Americas (POA) was born in the spring of 1954 after an Arabian/Appaloosa mare accidentally bred to a Shetland stallion. The owner offered to sell the pregnant mare to a neighbor, lawyer and Shetland pony breeder Les Boomhower.
