Arabo-Friesian
The Arabo-Friesian (Dutch: ''Arabo Friese Paard'') is a recent breed of horse, selected over several generations since the 1960s to obtain the morphology of the modern Friesian horse, Friesian combined with the endurance qualities of the Arabian horse, Arabian. The creation of this breed was strongly contested by some Dutch Friesian breeders, who went so far as to set fire to the stables where the first crosses were made. The Arabo-Frisian is not the result of a direct cross between a Friesian and an Arab, but has an average of 10–20% Arabian origins, making it very close to the Friesian. Its European studbook has been open since 2000. In 2013, the breed had around 850 members worldwide. History The Arabo-Friesian is one of many crossbreeds that include the Arabian, though its primary foundation stock is Friesian. Its very recent creation is the result of several European initiatives. In the 1960s, the lack of stamina and breath in Friesian horses in combined driving compe ...

Friesian Horse
The Friesian ( in Dutch; in West Frisian) is a horse breed originating in Friesland in north Netherlands. The breed nearly became extinct on more than one occasion. It is classified as a light draught horse, and the modern day Friesian horse is used for riding and driving (horse), driving. The Friesian horse is most known for its Black horse, all-black coat colour, its long flowing mane and tail, feathering (horse), feathering on its legs, a high head carriage, and high stepping action. Breed characteristics The breed has powerful overall conformation and good bone structure, with what is sometimes called a Baroque horse, Baroque body type. Friesians have long arched necks, well-chiseled short-ears, and Spanish-type heads. They have sloping shoulders, compact muscular bodies with sloping hindquarters and a low-set tail. Limbs are short and strong, with Feathering (horse), feathering—long hair on the lower legs. A Friesian horse also has a long, thick mane and tail, o ...

Black Horse
Black is a hair coat color of horses in which the entire hair coat is black. It is not uncommon to mistake dark chestnuts or bays for black. Black horses have dark brown eyes, black skin, and wholly black hair coats without any areas of permanently reddish or brownish hair. They may have pink skin beneath any white markings under the areas of white hair, and if such white markings include one or both eyes, the eyes may be blue. Many black horses "sun bleach" with exposure to the elements and sweat, and therefore their coats may lose some of their rich black character and may even resemble bay or seal brown, though examination of the color of hair around the eyes, muzzle and genitals will determine color. Some breeds of horses, such as the Friesian horse, Murgese and Ariegeois (or Merens), are almost exclusively black. Black is also common in the Fell pony, Dales pony, Ostfriesen and Alt-Oldenburger, Kladruber, and Groningen. Visual identification When identifying t ...

Horse In Halter - 1
The horse (''Equus ferus caballus'') is a Domestication, domesticated, odd-toed ungulate, one-toed, ungulate, hoofed mammal. It belongs to the taxonomic family Equidae and is one of two Extant taxon, extant subspecies of wild horse, ''Equus ferus''. The horse has evolution of the horse, evolved over the past 45 to 55 million years from a small multi-toed creature, ''Eohippus'', into the large, single-toed animal of today. Humans began domesticating horses around 4000 Common Era, BCE in Central Asia, and their domestication of the horse, domestication is believed to have been widespread by 3000 BCE. Horses in the subspecies ''caballus'' are domesticated, although some domesticated populations live in the wild as feral horses. These feral populations are not true wild horses, which are horses that have never been domesticated. There is an extensive, specialized vocabulary used to describe equine-related concepts, covering everything from equine anatomy, anatomy to life sta ...

Friesian Sporthorse
The Friesian Sporthorse is a Friesian crossbred of sport horse type. The ideal Friesian Sporthorse is specifically bred to excel in FEI-recognized sport horse disciplines. Thus, "sporthorse" refers to the phenotype, breeding, and intended use of these horses. The term "Friesian Sport Horse" is a generic term to describe any Friesian-cross horse. Characteristics Friesian Sporthorses can come in a variety of colors and sizes, with no limitations on acceptable colors or markings. Their body type can range from a sport horse build to a heavier more Baroque build. A higher-set and more arched neck is also common among Friesian Sporthorses. They tend to have the gentle temperament and striking appearance of the Friesian, but with an increased athleticism, stamina, and hybrid vigor, when responsibly crossbred. They are most commonly used for dressage and carriage driving, but have also been successful as jumpers and eventing horses, as well as for all-around riding. They are a ...

Dressage
Dressage ( or ; , most commonly translated as "training") is a form of horse riding performed in exhibition and competition, as well as an art sometimes pursued solely for the sake of mastery. As an equestrianism, equestrian sport defined by the International Federation for Equestrian Sports, International Equestrian Federation, dressage is described as "the highest expression of horse training" where "horse and rider are expected to perform from memory a series of predetermined movements". Competitions are held at all levels from amateur to the Olympic Games and World Equestrian Games. Its fundamental purpose is to develop, through standardized progressive training methods, a horse's natural athletic ability and willingness to perform, thereby maximizing its potential as a Equestrianism, riding horse. At the peak of a dressage horse's gymnastic development, the horse responds smoothly to a skilled rider's riding aids, minimal aids. The rider is relaxed and appears effort-free w ...

Sweet Itch
Also known as Queensland itch, seasonal recurrent dermatitis (SSRD), summer itch or more technically, ''Culicoides'' hypersensitivity. Sweet itch is a medical condition in equines caused by an allergic response to the bites of ''Culicoides'' midges. It may be found in horses and ponies, especially in the warmer regions. It may also occur, too, in other equines. It is also found in Canada, Australia, the US and many other parts of the world. Causes A hypersensitivity reaction to specific allergens (protein molecules causing an extreme immune response in sensitised individuals) in the saliva of ''Culicoides'' midges. There are multiple allergens involved, although some works claim that the larger proteins (of molecular weight 65kDa) are the most important. These allergens appear to be cross-reactive across many species of ''Culicoides'' - i.e. many different varieties of midges produce similar allergens, giving the same effects upon horses. The hypersensitivity response is mediat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Horse Gait
Horses can use various gaits (patterns of leg movement) during Terrestrial locomotion, locomotion across solid ground, either naturally or as a result of specialized horse training, training by humans.Ensminger, M. E. ''Horses and Horsemanship'' 6th edition USA: Interstate Publishers 1990 pp. 65–66 Classification Gait, Gaits are typically categorized into two groups: the "natural" gaits that most horses will use without special training, and the "Ambling gait, ambling" gaits that are various smooth-riding, four-beat footfall patterns that may appear naturally in some individuals. Special training is often required before a horse will perform an ambling gait in response to a equestrianism, rider's command. Another system of classification that applies to Quadrupedalism, quadrupeds uses three categories: walking and ambling gaits, running or trotting gaits, and leaping gaits.Tristan David Martin Roberts (1995) ''Understanding Balance: The Mechanics of Posture and Locomotion'', ...

Horse Markings
Markings on horses are usually distinctive white areas on an otherwise dark base equine coat color, coat color. Most horses have some markings, and they help to identify the horse as a unique individual. Markings are present at birth and do not change over the course of the horse's life. Most markings have pink skin underneath most of the white hairs, though a few faint markings may occasionally have white hair with no underlying pink skin. Markings may appear to change slightly when a horse grows or sheds its winter coat, however this difference is simply a factor of hair coat length; the underlying pattern does not change. On a gray (horse), gray horse, markings visible at birth may become hidden as the horse turns white with age, but markings can still be determined by trimming the horse's hair closely, then wetting down the coat to see where there is pink skin and black skin under the hair. Recent studies have examined the genetics behind white markings and have located ce ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
