*Danish Warmblood*
Unlike the Dutch Warmblood and Trakehner,
the Danish Warmblood is a relatively new breed.
Just after the Second World War
the Danish had to
import horses for their riders,
from Germany, Britain and Sweden. Through selective breeding
evolved
the Danish Warmblood. Today the American Warmblood Society
is attempting the same in order to refine the existing
breeds in the U.S.

*Morgan*
Look at a Morgan and
the first thing you'll
notice
is his proud carriage, graceful
neck and very distinctive
head.
The Morgan is extremely versatile,
being both at
home under saddle
or hitched to a vehicle. |
*Trakehner*
"Easy to train, gentle and caring"
are just a
few of the great words
you'll hear about this breed.
They're real "show offs" and love a crowd.

to have descended in the Nez Percé Indian
territory of North
America from wild mustangs,

Dear Erin,
What a fascinating site, I have included a couple items for you to
consider adding to your site. We would appreciate all the exposure
for this new registry that we can get! It is totally awesome the
incredible response we are getting. Our own Farrier has remarked on
how sweet and workable our 5 month old filly is. She stands great
for him and is extremely affectionate! I truly believe the
Quariesian will become very popular as a light all around warmblood
type sporthorse. It will be athletically built to do just about
anything! I am really looking forward to attending the horse expos
next year to introduce the Quariesian. It should be pretty fun.
I really enjoyed your site and keep up the great work! Thank
you for including us on your site, it is very much appreciated!
Sincerely and appreciatively,
Linda L. Bell

(editor's note:) It's beyond me why the up and coming
riding instructors don't start their students out bareback...
it's the only way that anyone's going to learn
close contact with the horse.
It especially comes in handy
at the sitting trot.
Oh yes, one can ask that the reins
be dropped to obtain a better balance, but
to this "old timer" there's nothing better
than starting out with NOTHING between YOU and the HORSE.October 27, 2002 - Received by email the following:"I could not agree with you more about learning to ride without a saddle. From a very large Irish family
when I was a boy the bigger brother and sisters had the saddles so I did without my balance is just as good
without a saddle thirty years on. I try to teach all children without a saddle at some stage.
Thanks, Jim Doyle"
