New Forest Pony





These live semi-wild in the New Forest and are thought to descend from horses brought across with the Normans. The New Forest was designated as a royal hunting ground and the wildlife inside protected. The commoners had (and retain) rights to keep New Forest ponies in the forest and they're rounded up once a year to sell a few off (to control numbers) and check their health.

Suffolk Punch





A working horse breed like the Shire, it was traditionally used in farming in East Anglia. It is thought to be descended from horse brought by the Vikings from Jutland and bears a resemblance to the Jutland horses which pull the Carlsberg beer wagon:

Generally it's the English that breed horses in the UK and settled Irish travellers that train them. Most of the jockeys at the grand national seem to be wee little Irish guys speaking barely understandable versions of English.

Konik polski - Polish primitive horse
The Konik (Polish: konik polski or konik biłgorajski) or Polish primitive horse is a small horse, a kind of semiferal horse, originating in Poland. The Polish word konik (plural koniki) is the diminutive of koń, the Polish word for "horse" (sometimes confused with kuc, kucyk meaning "pony"). However, the name "konik" or "Polish konik" is used to refer to certain specific breeds. Koniks show many primitive markings, including a dun coat and dorsal stripe.

Physical characteristics
Height at the withers: 134 centimetres (53 in)
Chest circumference: 168 centimetres (66 in)
The breed is short in height, with a strong and stocky build, light head with a straight profile, the neck emerges low out of the chest. The Konik has a deep chest, a thick mane, and the hair coat is blue dun, though often colloquially called "mouse-gray".

Prevalence in Poland
Private breeders: 310 females, 90 males
State studs: 120 females, 50 males

Sarcidano Horse

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcidano_horse

It's considered one of the most ancient european horse's breeds. It has a odd number of teeth like happened in the primitive horses, and it doesn't need to be shod, too.






Giara Horse
Sometimes is called as Giara's pony.

OMG I love horses. I was obsessed with them throughout my entire childhood/ youth. I don't know of any that are necessarily native to Florida, unless maybe the painted Mustangs that were brought over from Spanish galleons during the colonial times and naturalized. There is a breed called Tennessee Walker that I'm assuming originated in Tennessee.

The ones I rode were Thoroughbred, Quarter horse, Arabian, Appaloosa, etc. Those are the standard ones you find around here. I did not like Arabians... Thoroughbreds were too big... my favorites were Appys, Quarters and Mustangs.
