Galiceno horses were developed in Mexico, from horses
imported by Hernan Cortes, mostly thought to be Portuguese Garrano and Galician
Ponies of Spain. It is thought that Sorraia blood was added at some point in
the breed''s history. The ancestors of the Galiceno were among sixteen horses
landed by Cortes during his Mexican invasion in 1519 for use in the mines and
as transport. During the rest of the 16th century, conquistadors continued to
bring horses into what is now Mexico, including many small-framed,
smooth-gaited horses. Many of these horses eventually escaped or were released
and formed feral bands in Mexico''s mountainous interior. Over the next few
centuries, local inhabitants began to catch and use horses from the increa

Galician Ponies are from Galicia, in the northwest of Spain.
The region has a very wet climate and numerous low mountains. They are a mix of Celtic horses, Roman horses, and horses brought to Spain by the Suevos. More recently they have been crossbred with other breeds. Despite their ethnic heterogeneity (three types of Galician ponies can be found in different parts of Galicia) the main characteristics are their straight profile, linear proportions, height of between 1.20 and 1.30 meters, and a chestnut coat. An interesting characteristic of one of the three types is the long mustache which appears on the upper lips of the older mares. They are large for a pony, but smaller than a horse. They are rugged and h ... | ||

Galloway ponies are an extinct horse breed, once native tornScotland and northern England. It was said that they had "good looks, arnwide, deep chest, and a tendency to pace rather than trot." They were a well known type of pony, first noted inrnEnglish literature when Shakespeare referred to "Galloway nags" inrnHenry IV part II. A survey in 1814 stated: The province of Galloway formerlyrnpossessed a breed of horses peculiar to itself, which were in high estimationrnfor the saddle, being, though of a small size, exceedingly hardy and active.rnThey were larger than the ponies of Wales, and the north of Scotland, and rosernfrom twelve to fourteen hands in height. The soils of Galloway, in theirrnunimproved state, are evidently adap ... | ||

Garrano (also known as Minho, Minho, or Tres os Montes)
horses are an ancient breed, descended from the same stock as the famous
Sorraias. Sorraias live mainly between the two rivers Sor and Raia, while
Garranos lives in North-Portugal, so they developed differently according to
their habitats. Garranos mainly lives in the fertile regions of Minho and
Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro, and have probably had more outside blood influence
than Sorraias.
It is generally believed that the Garrano is one of the ancestors to Andalusian and Galician Ponies. Recently, they have had infusions of Arabian blood, implemented by the Portuguese Ministry of Agriculture. This has refined the breed, but the ponies have also begun to lose s ... | ||

Georgian Grande horses are crossbreeds bwteen Friesian and
Saddlebred horses. The aim of the breeding is to create a Saddlebred-like horse
that adds the best qualities of heavier breeds. They are intelligent, alert,
proud but always calm and quiet. They are also aasy to train and very willing
to work.
The first attempts to create a new, heavier Saddlebred-type breed were made in the 1970s by George Wagner Jr, in Piketon, Ohio. His ambition was to recreate the stockier, sturdier look of the Saddlebred of older times, such as the animals used as cavalry mounts during the American Civil War. He considered this the original type of the Saddlebred horse instead of the prevailing modern, lighter type. Wagner''s breeding s ... | ||

Officially the Golden Saddlebred color was infused in the
American Saddlebred Horse Association through a horse by the name of Pat
Cleburne, who was foaled in 1864. According to the Palomino Horse Breeders of America,
the first golden Saddlebred registered was Pot O'' Gold, later known as
Richardson''s Pot O'' Gold. This horse was foaled in 1939 and was bred by S.A.
Clift of Waxahachie, TX, and registered with the ASHA as Clift''s Pride. What does one look for in a Golden American Saddlebred?

Gotland Ponies (also known as Russ or Skogsruss ponies) are
believed to be descended from pre-historic horses that migrated west from the
plains of Asia. They are indigenous to the island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea
off the Swedish coast. In the 1800s Oriental blood was introduced to the
original breed.
Until recently, with the coming of mechanization, the Gotland pony was extensively used by Swedish farmers for light draft work. Their relatively great strength and endurance adapted it to such work. At this time, there remains a herd of non-domesticated Gotland ponies. They live on the island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea off the Swedish coast in a forest at Lojsta. Gotland Ponies stand 12 to 12.2 hh ... | ||

Gypsey Vanner horses (also known as Irish Cob, Colored Cob, Gypsy
Cob, Tinker Horse, and Gypsy Horses) originated in the British Isles. They are a
small, solidly-built horse of cob conformation and are often, but not always, piebald
or skewbald. They are the only broken-colored horse breed of the British Isles,
and are particularly associated with the Pavee and Roma travelling peoples of Britain
and Ireland. From about 1850 travelling people in the British Isles began to use a distinct type of horse to pull their vardos, the caravans in which they had just begun to live and travel. The color and look of the breed were refined in the years after the Second World War. Horses of this type were first exported to the United Stat ... | ||
