Breeds of Horse
A recognized breed is one which has an Association
with a Stud Book
and Breeding record. Most recognized breeds have certain foundation
sires, and all registered foals must trace their ancestry back to these
stallions. In order for the foal to be registered, both the dam and the
sire must be registered. There are certain breeds known as "color
breeds" in which qualification is based on a specific color, e.g.
Appaloosa, Palomino and Spotted Horse. In addition to the purebred
registrations, certain associations also have so-called "Half-Bred"
books. These offsprings may be registered if only one parent is
purebred.
The Studbook Breed societies regulate the
breeding process
requirements and keep the studbook. The breed society has requirements
in respect of size, conformation, action, and in some cases color, that
need to be exhibited for a horse to be rcognized as part of that breed.
There are two types of studbook—open and closed. An open studbook
allows a horse bred from parents of a different registered breed to be
eligible for a particular breed, providing it meets the requirements. A
closed studbook only allows a horse to be registered if both its
parents are registered. This type of studbook keeps a breed much purer,
and a good example of this is the Arabian studbook.
