| The Hackney Horse |
| ||||||
| The name "Hackney" was used to describe a horse for general riding purposes, before it was chosen as a breed (in England). Since the middle of the ninteenth century, hackney horses were in demand for the improvement of native stock. Around the turn of the century, the horse became popular because it made a stylish carriage horse, with its lofty gait. The Hackney horse stands about 14.3 to 15.2 hands tall, and comes in an assortment of colors such as bay, brown, black, or chestnut (usually with some kind of white marking). They are generally more muscular than even Thoroughbred stallions! Most Hackneys are descendants of the brown stallion Mathias. This horse has evolved into a wonderful trotter, and an excellent carriage horse! |
