It is a horse story that has charmed generations, how hardy horses brought to North America by Spanish conquistadors went on to become the forebears of a plethora of equines commonly known today via a bewildering number of names including Spanish Mustangs, Colonial Spanish Horses, Spanish Barbs etc. Yet what has not been previously included in this debate is the “lost” study which concludes that the vast majority of all Spanish horses died soon after arriving. Did first Spanish Horses landed in Florida and Carolina leave progeny? was written in 1940 by Thornton Chard, a celebrated equestrian scholar, who undertook this careful research for the American Anthropological Association. The mountainous Kingdom of Albania is home to some of the rarest horses in the world, and although these rugged mountain ponies survived the perils of the Nazis and the xenophobia of the Communists, help is desperately needed to help improve this breed. In its on-going efforts to investigate the astonishing horses who inhabit Siberia, the Long Riders’ Guild Academic Foundation is working with academics, equestrians and webmasters located in Yakutia, the legendary northern Siberian state, to study the amazingly tough Siberian Yakut horses. Presenting the Thai, the little horse of Thailand - an article in Proequo, the Organization for the Protection of Horses. The Thai is a native breed with ancient origins, currently used as a pack-horse, draught-horse and for riding. At the conclusion of the Second World War, some of America's finest Morgan horses were purchased by the Chinese military, but after the Communists took over, all knowledge of these horses was lost for more than fifty years. LRGAF researcher Judith Turner solves the mystery of the China Morgans. Noted wild horse expert Thornton Chard translated the scientific study of The Criollo Horse of South America, by Dr. Emilio Solanet. Much is written concerning the origin of the thoroughbred horse and most of it is conjecture. Jeremy James sets the record straight by revealing how the legendary war horses of the Ottoman Empire have been misunderstood, and overlooked, by a horse world obsessed instead with a equestrian thoroughbred mythology addicted to an exclusive Arabian equine origin. |
