American Quarter Horse

The American Quarter Horse is the most popular breed in America, and for good reason - they're hardy, reliable, and versatile. Known for their intelligence, as well as their docile and steady demeanor, Quarter Horses are named for their ability to sprint at high speeds over a quarter mile. An extremely versatile breed, the Quarter Horse can be found in all corners of the equestrian world as a family pleasure horse, show horse, racehorse, and working ranch horse.

In 1940, the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) was formed to preserve the breed. The recognized colors of American Quarter Horses, include sorrel (chestnut), bay, black, brown, buckskin, chestnut, dun, grey, grullo, palomino, roan, perlino, and cremello. White markings can be found on their faces and legs, but large white pinto spots are prohibited.

Belgian Cross

One of the most popular draft horse breeds in the world is the Belgian - a large, hardy horse that is usually light chestnut in color and prized for its incredible strength. In the world of agriculture, it is not unusual to cross a Belgian horse with another draft breed to create a reliable working horse with heavier feather and build. 

Brumby

A brumby is a free-roaming feral horse in Australia. Although found in many areas around the country, today, most of them are found in the Northern Territory, with the second largest population in Queensland.

Brumbies are the descendants of escaped or lost horses, dating back to early European settlers. They are rarely of consistent size, conformation, or color, due to the fact that domestic mares may escape and join feral horse herds. They were originally of mixed type, including Australian Draught and Thoroughbred blood.

Today, it is still possible to tame and adopt Brumbies that are caught in the wild. Brumbies serve as all-around horses, and can be found in the show ring or on the trail, and have the versatility to compete in both English and Western disciplines at recreational levels.

Because Brumby horses live and breed in the wild, they don't have an official breed standard. However, they do share some common characteristics. Brumbies often have a straight profile, a deep jaw, a neck of medium length that connects to smooth withers, a short back, and a deep girth. Their frame is rectangular but their posture is square and balanced.

Friesian

The Friesian horse is very charismatic - their gentle and willing nature provides a strong base for versatile training. Uses of the Friesian horse are limitless: dressage, trail and pleasure riding, pleasure driving, combined driving, saddleseat and more. Looking like they've just stepped out of a fairytale, these horses' appearance and naturally animated motion provide a noble “presence” in any show ring, parade, trail, or just your own paddock.

Registered Friesian horses are always black, from deep jet black to a bay-black. White markings are not allowed on the body or the legs. They have long, thick, flowing manes and tails and pronounced fetlock hair. The Friesian horse holds its head high and proud with an arching neck. This is a horse of luxurious and proud appearance, full of personality, honesty, and eagerness to work.

Thoroughbreds

Thoroughbreds are most well-known for their careers as racehorses. They have an athletic build with a deep chest, long neck, lean body, and long legs. The most common colors found are bay, brown, chestnut, grey, black, palomino and roan. Pinto patterns, including a genetically-distinct "dominant white" pattern, can also occur.

Thoroughbreds are known for their agility, grace, speed, stamina and courage, making them ideally suited for any number of disciplines beyond the racetrack. Many retired racehorses are successfully transitioned into second careers. These horses can compete at the highest levels of international competition in eventing, show jumping and dressage and also make outstanding hunters, steeplechasers, barrel racers and polo mounts. They are also used by mounted police patrols and recreational riders who appreciate their intelligence and versatility.

Warmblood

Warmbloods are a group of middle-weight horse types and breeds primarily originating in Europe. The term distinguishes these horses from both heavy draft horses ("cold bloods") and refined light saddle horses such as the Thoroughbred, Arabian, and Akhal-Teke ("hot bloods"). They are often found competing in English-style events as well as driving.

Warmbloods have become popular since the mid-20th century when recreational riding became more widespread in the western world. Coat colors vary from breed to breed, but all warmbloods are prized as competitors, teachers, and all-around family horses.
