    Ok, I am pretty sure about 1 and 2, I am still working on 3,
    The first one is the Belgian horse right?
    The 2nd one is the Missouri Fox Trotter, here is a quote
    The distinguishing characteristic of the Missouri Fox Trotter is the fox trot gait. The fox trot is basically a diagonal gait, like the trot, but the horse appears to walk with the front legs and trot with the hind legs. Because of the back feet sliding action (rather than the hard step of other breeds), the rider experiences little jarring action and is quite comfortable to sit for longer periods of time without "posting" or "standing" in the saddle.

    Deli, do you want some links to the Icelandics and their Tolt? There is a farm here in Vermont I have been wanting to check out.

    Here are a couple of links about the Vermont Icelandics

    They seem well suited for Vermont, I guess we have a winter climate similar to Iceland here!

    My guess is either the Akhal-Teke or their decendents the Turkoman. Both were developed in that general area, are very lean built, tough bodied horses athletic as they come.

    I wanted to add my answers to a couple of the questions from way in the beginning.

    One is the issue of laminitis. This is a condition when a severe upset to the horses system causes an overload of blood flow to the hoof(s) of the horse. The hoof is basically made up of the wall, the soft tissue (laminae) which is filled with tiny capilairies, and the bones. The coffin bone is held in place by the soft tissue, which in turn is connected to the wall. When the overload of blood happens, the hoof heats up. The combination of the heat and pressure literally breaks the capiliaries and the soft tissue becomes weakend and gradually loses its hold on the coffin bone. The bone then begins to rotate out of its usual position. VERY painful for the horse.

    And another color breed, my favorites, the Buckskin!

In His hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind. (NIV)

    Forgot to post a question......

    What horses were used to develope the Quarter horse breed?

    What is a Crabbet Arabian?

    What part of the horse is 75% of its mature size when a horse is born?

    Job 12:7-10 : But ask the animals and they will teach you, or the birds of the air, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish of the sea inform you, which of all these does not know, that the hand of the Lord has done this?

    YLL, that was a tough question, the closest I came up with for that one was the Marwari horse.
    Look, it has those same weird ears! They come from India too so they must be related.

    EquineB, welcome to this thread, it's nice to have a new horse lover here. I will try to answer your questions.

    The horses used to develop the Quarter Horse breed were Arabs, Turks and Barbs.

    A Crabbett Arabian is an Arabian who can trace his bloodlines back to here

    Crabbet Stud was founded in 1878 in Sussex, England, by Wilfrid and Lady Anne Blunt. It was continued by the Blunt daughter, Judith, the famous Lady Wentworth. The stud's final owner was Cecil Covey. Crabbet Stud closed in 1971 after some 93 years of world renowned greatness.


    A 100% Crabbet pedigree means that the pedigree traces in all lines to Arabians which were:

    1)Purchased and owned by Crabbet:
    2) Arabians bred by others which passed through the hands of Crabbet without being bred from by Crabbet:
    3)Any purebred Arabian bred by Crabbet Stud, from any of the bloodlines used by that stud, between the years 1878 to 1971.

    For your last question I would guess that the horse's head is 75% of its mature size when a horse is born.
