Geocache Description:


Name this Breed (one word)


This Horse's bloodlines come from France when they were sent to the New World late in the 17th century. They were of Norman & Breton horses and those characteristics can still be seen in the breed today. For centuries these animals were bred with little outside influence and were eventually singled out as their own breed. Due to their evolution under harsh weather and scarce food they have become tough animals that are easy to keep. In fact, they are often referred to as The Little Iron Horse. This tough little animal was valuable as a general utility animal and could be used for everything from plowing to pulling carriages. As they were exported, their numbers began to dwindle in their home and native land. An increasing shift to farm machinery also took its toll on their numbers as they were primarily used as farm animals. By the 1870’s there were fewer than 400 left, but efforts were made to preserve the breed and by 1886 a stud book was established. This Horse has grown in popularity, although they are still classified as having critical numbers.
