• Trakehner is a light warmblood breed of horse, originally developed at the East Prussian state stud farm in the town of Trakehnen from which the breed takes its name.

• It has been said that the Trakehner has everything everybody is looking for in a performance horse, and indeed, the breed's list of attributes certainly leads one to believe it. Trakehners have size, bone, and correctness of conformation, yet are extremely breedy and beautiful. They are very athletic, with magnificent movement that is comfortable, balanced, and free.

• ​The Trakehner typically stands between 15.2 and 17 hands (62 and 68 inches, 157 and 173 cm). They can be any color, with bay, gray, chestnut and black being the most common, though the breed also includes few roan and tobiano pinto horses.

• The Gypsy Cob, also known as the Traditional Gypsy cob, Irish Cob, Gypsy Horse or Gypsy Vanner, is a type or breed of domestic horse from the island of Ireland.

• Other names: Cob; Gypsy Cob; Gypsy Horse; Gypsy Vanner; Irish Cob; Tinker Horse

•  It is a small, solidly-built horse of cob conformation and is often, but not always, piebald or skewbald; it is particularly associated with the Irish Traveller and Romani travelling peoples of Britain and Ireland. There was no stud-book or breed association for horses of this type until 1996.

• The Gypsy horse is widely known for its piebald, or black and white pinto coat color, a common but not sole coloration for the breed. However, Gypsy horses may be of any coat color; none of the breed registries incorporates a color requirement into its breed standard. Feathering, long hair starting below the knee of the front legs and the hock of the hind legs and running down the leg to flow over the front and back of the hooves, is a highly valued attribute of the Gypsy Horse. Profuse feather is an integral part of the definition of a Gypsy Horse and most registries require it.

• ​The average height is 14.2, but they range anywhere from 12.2 to 16 hh.

• Wild ponies have inhabited Assateague Island for hundreds of years. Some have suggested that the wild ponies of Assateague trace their origin to horses released to forage on the Island by early settlers. However, the evidence strongly sugests that they are the descendants of the survivors of a Spanish galleon which wrecked off the coast of Assateague. 

• These small but sturdy, shaggy horses have adapted to their environment over the years by eating dune and marsh grasses and drinking fresh water from ponds.

• The Chincoteague Pony breed showcases many different equine colors. These include bay, chestnut, gray, dun, black, brown, cremello, and palomino. The most common pattern is pinto, but tobiano and overo are also common. Some of the brighter patterns include strawberry roan on white, as well as palomino on white.

• The average height of a Chincoteague Pony is between 12 and 13 hands (any horse that stands less than 14 hands is considered a Pony). Chincoteague Ponies are stocky, with short legs, thick manes, and large, round bellies.
