Henson Horse
The Henson horse, or cheval de Henson, is a modern horse breed from northwest France. It was created by the selective breeding of light saddle horses with the smaller, heavier Fjord horse, Norwegian Fjord horse to create small horses suitable for the equestrian vacation industry. The breeders' association, Association du Cheval Henson, was formed in 1983. In 1995 the studbook was closed to horses not born from Henson parents, and in 2003 the breed was officially recognised by the French government agencies for horse breeding. A hardy breed of horse, each winter the broodmares and youngstock from several breeders are let loose together to graze freely in the wetland reserves in France. History Unlike the majority of French horse breeds, the Henson was created in the late 20th century with the goal of obtaining a hardy horse adapted to all forms of equestrian tourism, outdoor riding and pleasure riding; it is therefore the most recent of all French horse breeds.

Augeron Horse
Augeron () is the Norman dialect of the Pays d'Auge. It is highly endangered. This dialect includes both coastal and inland areas. Phonology Augeron can be characterised by means of its position within the isoglosses that traverse the Norman-speaking territory. Situated near the division between Lower and Upper Normandy, it can be described as transitional, displaying as it does features typical of western and eastern dialects. Augeron lies north of the Joret line and therefore shares unpalatalised (example: = cat) and palatalised (example: = five) with the northern dialects from the insular varieties and Cotentinais in the west to Cauchois in the east. It lies west of the isogloss - (example: = conceal). It is at the easternmost boundary of the Norman dialects displaying this feature. By contrast, it lies east of the isogloss - (example: = place). It is near the westernmost boundary of the Norman dialects displaying this feature. Along with other northern dialects i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Anglo-Norman Horse
The Anglo-Norman horse is a warmblood horse breed developed in Lower Normandy in northern France. A major center of horse breeding, the area had numerous regional types that were bred to one another and then crossed with Thoroughbreds to form the Anglo-Norman. Various body types developed within the Anglo-Norman breed, two of which were split off to form the Norman Cob and French Trotter. The remaining types were eventually standardized, although there remained some criticism of the "hybrid (biology), hybrid" nature of the breed's equine conformation, conformation. However, it is successful as an international sport horse, especially in the sport of show jumping. The Anglo-Norman also contributed to the development of several other breeds in Europe and Asia. The Anglo-Norman was developed in the early 19th century, and along with Thoroughbred and local Norman blood, influences were seen from other breeds, including British and Russian trotting horses. By the mid-19th century, th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Angevin Horse
The Angevin is an extinct breed of light saddle-horse from the former province of Anjou in western France. It was bred principally in the area around Angers in the département of Maine-et-Loire. It stood about 149–157 centimetres at the withers. It was much used as a mount for light cavalry.

Ardennais
The Ardennais or Ardennes is one of the oldest breeds of draft horse, and originates from the Ardennes area in Belgium, Luxembourg, and France. They are heavy-boned with thick legs and are used for draft work. Their history reaches back to Ancient Rome, and throughout the years blood from several other breeds has been added to the Ardennes, although only the Belgian breed had any significant impact. The first Ardennes were imported to the United States in the early 20th century, and the first breed registry was established in Europe in 1929. The horses have been used throughout history as war horses, both as cavalry mounts and to draw artillery, and are used today mainly for heavy draft and farm work, meat production and competitive driving events. They have also been used to influence or create several other horse breeds throughout Europe and Asia. History Their history reaches back to Ancient Rome.

Trait Du Nord
The Trait du Nord, previously also known as Ardennais du Nord or Ardennais de type Nord, is a horse breed, breed of heavy draft horse developed and bred in the area of Hainaut (province), Hainaut in western Belgium and in northeastern France. Originally considered a subtype of the Ardennes horse, Ardennes, it was recognized as an individual breed with the opening of a studbook in 1903. Developed in the fertile County of Flanders, Flemish grasslands, it was bred for size and pulling power for agricultural work. By 1855, the horses bred near Hainaut were considered by some veterinarians to be superior to other Flemish draft breeds. The Trait du Nord was used extensively in mining from the late 19th century through 1920, with lesser use continuing through the 1960s. The Trait du Nord continued to be used extensively for agriculture through World War II, but after the war this usage, and the breed population, declined significantly as farming became increasingly mechanized.

Selle Français
The Selle Français (SF) is a horse breed, breed of sport horse from France. An athletic horse with good horse gaits, gaits, it is usually bay (horse), bay or chestnut (coat), chestnut in color.

Bred throughout France, the Selle Français has been exported worldwide, with additional stud books formed in Great Britain and the United States.

Pottok
The Pottok or Pottoka ( or , ), is an endangered, semi-feral breed of pony native to the Pyrenees of the Basque Country in France and Spain. It is considered an ancient breed of horse, particularly well adapted to the harsh mountain areas it traditionally inhabits. Once common, it is endangered through habitat loss, mechanization and crossbreeding but efforts are increasingly made to safeguard the future of this breed. It is considered iconic by the Basque people. Etymology ''Pottoka'' is the Basque language name for this horse, both north and south of the mountains. In Upper Navarrese, ''potto'' and ''pottoka'' are generic terms for colts and young horses whereas in Lapurdian and Lower Navarrese the meaning of ''pottoka'' is "pony". Trask, L.

Poitevin Horse
The Poitevin () or Poitou is a French breed of draft horse. It is named for its area of origin, the former province of Poitou in west-central France, now a part of the region of Nouvelle-Aquitaine. It was formed in the seventeenth century when horses of Flemish or Dutch origin, brought to the area by engineers working to drain the Marais Poitevin, interbred with local horses. Although it has the size and conformation of a draft horse, the Poitevin has never been bred for draft abilities, and has been little used for draft work. Its principal traditional use was the production of mules. Poitevin mares were put to jacks of the large Baudet du Poitou breed of donkey; the resulting Poitevin mules were in demand for agricultural and other work in many parts of the world, including Russia and the United States. In the early twentieth century there were some 50,000 brood mares producing between 18,000 and 20,000 mules per year. The Poitevin is an endangered breed; in 2011 there wer ...

Although their exact origins are unknown, the ancestors of the breed were present in the valley by the 17th century. They are believed to descend from war horse, war horses. Over time, they began to be used for pulling stagecoaches; and later, for agriculture and hauling heavy goods. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Arabian horse, Arabian blood was added to the breed. Exports of Percherons from France rose exponentially in the late 19th century, and the first purely Percheron stud book was created in France in 1893.
