Baixadeiro
The Baixedeiro is a small-sized horse breed that originated in the marshy regions of Brazil. Most of them are close to extinct and are currently under conservation in Brazil. They have a similar look to the Pantaneiro horse breed of Brazil but are smaller in size than this breed. They do best in Wetland, wetlands most of the year, which is part of why they are undeveloped. References Horse breeds Horse breeds originating in Brazil {{Horse-breed-stub ...

Mangalarga Marchador
The Mangalarga Marchador is a Brazilian breed of riding horse. It is the national horse breed of Brazil, where there are more than half a million of them; it is among the most numerous breeds of riding horse in the world. It derives from cross-breeding of Portuguese Alter Real horses with local Criollo stock. It displays four gaits: the walk, the canter, and two ambling gaits, the ''marcha batida'' and the ''marcha picada''; it does not trot. History Origin Francisco Gabriel Junqueira, Baron of Alfenas, began breeding his imported Lusitano to the mares on his farm (primarily Barbs, along with other breeds brought to Brazil when it was colonized). The result was a smooth-gaited, attractive horse which the baron called ''Sublime''. Junqueira sold some of the ''Sublimes'' to a friend who had a farm in Paty do Alferes, Rio de Janeiro. The farm's name was ''Mangalarga'', and the owner rode ''Sublimes'' to and from Rio de Janeiro. In Rio, people noticed the smooth-gaited, ...

Pampa (horse)
The Pampa Horse is a Brazilian breed of riding, sport and working horse. It combines the conformational characteristics of Brazilian Horses that are gaited with a pinto spotting pattern of white and dark coat colors. Developed from a base of spotted horses of the Mangalarga Marchador, Campolina, Brazilian crossbred horses, and others. It is a color breed: only pinto horses may be registered. History As the Pampa is a spotted breed of Brazilian horse, its history begins with the introduction of this coat color pattern in Brazil. Though there is no record of a precise date for the arrival of these types of horses, it is believed that the color pattern was introduced with the first horses brought by Spanish settlers to South America (such as the Andalusian horse and Jaca Navarra), which is also where breeds such as the Criollo and Campeiro originated). The pattern may have been introduced with a few horses of Barb horse origin brought by Portuguese settlers, or by ho ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pantaneiro (horse)
The Pantaneiro is a Brazilian breed of Criollo cattle from the Pantanal wetland region of Brazil, where it has been raised for more than four hundred years. In the twenty-first century it is considered to be at risk of extinction. History The Pantaneiro derives from Spanish cattle brought to the Americas by the ''conquistadores'' at the time of the colonisation of the Río de la Plata basin. Cattle were first brought to the Mato Grosso in the 1540s; in 1568 a herd of more than seven hundred head was carried off by local indigenous people and taken to the extensive wetlands of the Pantanal, where they raised them for some two hundred years. From the eighteenth century, when agreement was reached with the colonists, the stock was influenced by breeds of Portuguese origin such as the Curraleiro and Franqueiro. DNA studies have shown that there has been contamination of the breed through the use of bulls of zebuine breeds such as the Nelore, introduced to the Pantanal region dur ...

Nordestino (horse)
The Nordestino, also known as Crioulo Nordestino, Mourão, Pé Duro Nordestino or Sertanejo do Nordeste,DOMINGUES, Octavio - O CAVALO SERTANEJO DO NORDESTE, Revista de Agricultura da Escola Nacional de Agronomia, Universidade Rural (Rio de Janeiro). nline Rio de Janeiro: Typographia Commercial, 1853 pg. 53 to 56. Available in WWW:. is a breed of horses native to the Northeast Region of Brazil. The breed is near extinction due to the lack of interest in maintaining it. A stud-book was created and approved in 1987 by the Brazilian government; nevertheless in 2017 the authorization to carry out the genealogical records of the breed was revoked by the Ministry of Agriculture ("Portaria n. 1.537/2017" do MAPA published in , on 26 July 2017, section 1, page 17) causing the loss of the breed's lines records. It is the first native horse breed of Brazil, and derived from the first horses brought by Portuguese settlers in the sixteenth century. Over time the horses have evolved into a ...

Marajoara (horse)
The Marajoara or Marajó culture was an ancient pre-Cabraline era culture that flourished on Marajó island at the mouth of the Amazon River in northern Brazil. In a survey, Charles C. Mann suggests the culture appeared to flourish between 800 AD and 1400 AD, based on archeological studies. Researchers have documented that there was human activity at these sites as early as 1000 BC. The culture seems to have persisted into the colonial era. Background Archeologists have found sophisticated pottery in their excavations on the island. These pieces are large, and elaborately painted and incised with representations of plants and animals. These provided the first evidence that a complex society had existed on Marajó. Evidence of mound building further suggests that well-populated, complex and sophisticated settlements developed on this island, as only such settlements were believed capable of such extended projects as major earthworks.

Mangalarga
The Mangalarga is a horse breed that was originally developed in Brazil by Francisco Gabriel Junqueira, the Baron of Alfenas, when he began breeding Alter Real stallions from Portugal with local Colonial Spanish mares on his lands in Baependi County at Minas Gerais State. Thus work of Junqueira also developed the Mangalarga Marchador breed that differs from the Mangalarga due to the influence of different bloodlines and a focus on different traits. However, at the beginning, there was just one type of horse, the "Mangalarga Horse". However, today the two breeds are different from one another and each has its own studbook and breed associations. A 2013 study found that the Mangalarga Paulista had one of the highest inbreeding Inbreeding is the production of offspring from the mating or breeding of individuals or organisms that are closely genetic distance, related genetically.

History The Lavradeiro is of Criollo or Colonial Spanish type, descending from Iberian horses brought to the Americas by the Conquistadores Horses of this type were brought into Roraima during the period of Portuguese colonisation in the eighteenth century. The horses were managed extensively on the unfenced savannah or ''lavrado'', and a substantial feral population established itself. The horses became hardy and well-adapted to the difficult climate and poor grazing of the area. Until about 1980 this population numbered some head, but by the end of the decade numbers had fallen to no more than ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
