    Oodles, I have not heard that either. Do you have a link or more info you could show us?
    I can see the connection of the Lipizzan and Andalusian, one of the website I visited mentioned that
    but I can't figure out the Appaloosa connection except that they came from some of the Spanish Conquistador's horses.

    New Questions:

    1) How did the Quarter Horse get it's name?
    2) What breed of horse is Jack? (Hint: he's a cross)
    3) What breed of horse is "the most popular breed in the world"? About how many are there?
    4) Name 3 wild horses
    5) What state is the horse capital of the world? (This is my favorite state.)

    Picture: Taken at the Missouri State Fair in 2002.
    What breed of horse is this?

    Ok YLL, here are some answers

    1)The Quarter Horse got its name for being the fastest running the 1/4 mile races.
    2)I think your Jack is a Quarter Horse/Morgan cross(two of my favorite breeds)
    3)I think the Quarter Horse is the most popular breed in the world, I would have to look up the numbers
    4)One wild horse is the Mustang(like Spirit)
    5)I'm pretty sure Kentucky is the horse capital of the world, aren't you planning a trip there to the Kentucky Horse Park?

    The photo looks like a Saddlebred or Standardbred but I always get the two confused! Is it one of those two?
    (unless it is the Missouri Fox Trotter since the photo is from Missouri.)

    The lipizzan is also a spanish horse this is why in Austria it is called the Spanish Riding academy. and when the spanish came to american they brought with them the horses. Some these horses got loose and the Nez Perez indians captured them and bred them for the color. There was an article in Western Horseman I beleive in 1974 about it. I also did my high school research paper on the appaloosa breed. Used 150 references and it went on to say that drawings of these horses were found on the walls of caves in China dated back to 500BC. Now I basically gave my age away.

    Also I thought a jack was a cross between a ginny and a horse.

    Jack is the name of my horse.

    A jack is a male donkey- it's not a cross of anything. A jennet(jenny) is a female donkey. Mules are a cross between a female horse and a male donkey. Hinnies are a cross between a male horse and a jennet/jenny.
