A few nice horse breeding images I found:

Horses don't have a gallbladder.

In the wild, foals will suckle until they are a year old, and sometimes longer.

The horse has the largest eyes of any land animal.

A horse's teeth occupy more space in its head than its brain.

Horses are not color-blind.

Horses have memories that put elephants to shame.

The height measurement of a "hand" is 4 inches. That's because it was considered to be the width of an "average" man's hand across the knuckles.

Adult male horses generally have 40 teeth, but females only 36.

Barley is thought to be the first grain to be domesticated, and probably the first to be fed to horses.

There were no horses in Australia until 1788.

The sequence of the horse's footfalls at the walk was correctly described by Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) in the 4th century B.C.

The state of Wyoming has used a cowboy on a bucking bronco on its license plates since 1936.

Selective horse breeding has been practiced by the Arab tribes since at least the 7th century.

Caspian ponies probably existed in Mesopotamia in 3000 B.C.

The Clydesdales became the Anhueser-Busch symbol on April 7, 1933.

A coltpixie is believed to be a spirit horse which lures mortal horses into bogs.

In Greco-Roman myth, donkeys are a symbol of lust.

The oldest horse on record is Old Billy. Foaled in 1760, he died at age 62 in 1822. He was a draft cross bred in Woolston, Britain.

Women rode astride until the 15th century, then followed the period of sidesaddle.

The Celts were using nailed-on horseshoes by the 5th or 6th century B.C.

An ancient practice is putting a horse's shoes on backwards — toe to heels — to mislead a pursuing enemy. It was used in the 11th century by King Alphonso in his escape from the Moorish Kind Ali Maymon of Toledo, Spain; in 1303 by Robert the Bruce in his escape from King Edward; and in 1530 by Duke Christopher of Wuurtemburg in his escape from Emperor Charles V. And if you believe the movies, it was a common practice in the Old West.

The word farrier, one who shoes horses, comes from the Latin ferririus, "iron worker."

New Specialty Horse Books Selection – Horses of Iberian (Spanish) Heritage

August 26th, 2011 admin No comments

Los Olivos, CA (PRWEB) January 5, 2006

For the horse aficionado and history buff, Amigo Publications now offers a new series of books and DVDs about the horses of Spain and Portugal and their many descendent breeds in both North and South America. Several titles represent the Andalusian horse, such as Robert Vavra?s exceptional work ?Cardenas ? Horses and Home? and the brand new hardcover book ?Living with The Horse of Spain?. From Portugal one finds the new edition of the imported great success ?Lusitano Horse, Son of the Wind? by Arsenio Raposo.

There are only very few things that have influenced the development of the "New World?, North and South America, as much as the horse. Ever since Christopher Columbus landed the first horses in America on his second voyage, has the Iberian horse helped shape the development, both economical and political, of the Americas. Amigo Publications? series of horse books documents and photographically represents the breeds of horses that descended from these first arrivals.

From the ancient history of the Iberian horse to the many new breeds descending from them, Dr. Deb Bennett?s great book ?Conquerors ? The Roots of New World Horsemanship? tells the story of men and horse traveling to and conquering the New World and leaving their imprint not only on local horsemanship but on centuries of many developments that were possible only with the contribution of these Iberian horses.

Descending from these first arrivals we find the North American Spanish Colonial Horse in many groups of wild and domesticated ?Spanish Mustangs?. They are beautifully presented in Hardy Oelke?s book ?Born Survivors on the Eve of Extinction?. The Vaquero of California, as shown in the new 80 minute DVD ?Tapadero?, still practices traditions in horsemanship that originated in Spain. From Mexico, the beautifully illustrated book ?The Azteca Horse ? El Caballo Azteca? introduces the new national horse of this country and its equine history over the last century.

The horses of South America are represented in the Amigo Publications collection by the series of three DVDs ?The Complete Peruvian Horse?, ?From Bozal to Bit? and ?Groundwork?. In them, traditional Iberian horsemanship is successfully integrated with modern American horse training techniques and communication.

There are a dozen or so more titles making up this incredible collection of top quality horse books. You can get more information and many detail descriptions with select illustrations as well as readers? reviews from the website of http://www.equibooks.com. The website includes an easy to use and secure shopping cart. Please visit the site at:

Missouri Fox Trotter Named Horse of the Year by Friends of Sound Horses (FOSH)

Missouri Fox Trotter Named Horse of the Year by Friends of Sound Horses (FOSH)











John Brandreth competes with his Fox Trotter, The Kansas Kowboy D, FOSH Horse of the Year, at the 2010 MFTHBA Celebration Show.


Ava, MO (PRWEB) March 30, 2011

Friends of Sound Horses (FOSH) has named a Missouri Fox Trotter its Horse of the Year for the third time. The Kansas Kowboy D, owned by John Brandreth of Brandreth Farms, http://www.Brandrethfarms.com, is the 2010 FOSH Horse of the Year, earning more than 1000 FOSH show points. “Kowboy” was the Missouri Fox Trotting Horse Breed Association’s (MFTHBA) World Grand Champion Open Versatility horse in 2010 with six World Championships, and was an MFTHBA gaited performance champion, winning four World Championships in 2008.

“It’s a thrill to compete against some of the best gaited horses in the country,” said Brandreth. “Kowboy demonstrates that you can take a top gaited performance horse that wins demanding ‘in breed’ competitions for correct smooth gaits, and train that horse to excel in versatility horse sports like reining, cutting and barrel racing.”

FOSH is a national organization dedicated to the promotion of humane horse activities and to fighting abusive horse-training practices. The FOSH Horse of the Year title is bestowed on the horse that accumulates the most points in FOSH-sanctioned shows for gaited horses, which are produced nation-wide and feature competition in a wide range of disciplines.

“When we left the MFTHBA Celebration Show in September of 2008, we developed a strategy to transform The Kansas Kowboy from a gaited performance horse to a gaited versatility horse, which meant changing his mindset,” said Brandreth, a native of Georgia who owns Fox Trotters and Quarter Horses and enjoys raising gaited horses to compete in ranch horse disciplines.

“Kowboy spent two months in the mountains riding trails and bushwhacking, then another nine months at the farm doing anything but getting in an arena. In November of 2009 Kowboy went to Blankenship Stables in Sarasota, Florida, where Tori Blankenship began his transformation,” Brandreth said.

In the 2010 FOSH competition, Tori Blankenship rode Kowboy at the shows in Tampa, Florida, and Ava, Missouri, and Brandreth rode him at shows in Lexington, Virginia, and Sedalia, Missouri.

Kowboy and Brandreth plan to set their sites on cowboy mounted shooting next.

“This breed has produced wonderful horses, and we’re proud to demonstrate the talent, athleticism and disposition Missouri Fox Trotters have. Many thanks to our friends at the MFTHBA,” Brandreth said.

“Missouri Fox Trotters have become popular throughout the world because of their natural smooth gait, temperament and versatility,” said Clyde Connelly, President of the MFTHBA. “We’re very pleased to see Missouri Fox Trotters performing so well across the gaited horse spectrum and across so many disciplines.”

An article by Cathy Warren, owner of last year’s FOSH Horse of the Year, Trixie Trax, can be read at http://www.fosh.info/press_p7.html. Trixie Trax is also a Fox Trotter and was trained by Blankenship Stables, http://www.budblankenshipfoxtrotters.com.

Tori and Bud Blankenship’s Fox Trotter stallion Playboy’s Sampson was the 2008 FOSH Horse of the Year. Sampson won many accolades in MFTHBA shows before launching his FOSH career in Florida.
