Colonial Spanish horse, descendants of the original Jennet-type horse brought to North America, now with a number of modern breed names. Draft horse or draught horse; Feral horse, a horse living in the wild, but descended from once-domesticated ancestors. Most "wild" horses today are actually feral.

The member limit was lifted in 1964, and since then pedigree research has continued to find and register horses with Ranger breeding that are un-registered or ...

In 1867, the Orlov Trotter horse Beduin made headlines when, at World's Fair in Paris, he covered 3,500 feet in 1 minute 32 seconds – 4 seconds ahead the fastest Standardbred mare at that time, Flora Temple.
