However, it is not appropriate to list breeders of other horse breeds here unless that breeder was exclusively or primarily breeding horses specifically for the track.

The bay or black Canadian horse, which derives from France via Louis XIV, has had an important impact on many of the native American breeds such as the Morgan, American saddlebred, and standardbred.
The American Quarter Horse, or Quarter Horse, is an American breed of horse that excels at sprinting short distances. Its name is derived from its ability to outrun other horse breeds in races of 1 ⁄ 4 mi (0.40 km) or less; some have been clocked at speeds up to 44 mph (71 km/h). The development of the Quarter Horse traces to the 1600s.
This is a list of horse breeds usually considered to originate or have developed in Canada and the United States. Some may have complex or obscure histories, so inclusion here does not necessarily imply that a breed is predominantly or exclusively from those countries.
