HORSE BREEDS

Below is a list of over 100 horse breeds found all over the world. Many of which you probably have never heard of. It really is quite amazing to see just how many uniquely different breeds there are. I have seen, ridden and even owned a few that you see.

Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to horses. You might be the type of person who prefers the real refined horses that simply have an elegance to them like the Arabian or maybe you like a horse with a larger frame such as a warmblood. If you own or have owned a horse, then you probably already have a personal preference that stems from your experience with that particular breed and that’s okay. Maybe you will find a few breeds that you didn’t even know existed.

I have added links to many of these breeds where you can go directly to that breed’s registry, association or if there isn’t one, the link may take you to a page with specific information on that breed.
