This breed of mini drafts, a mix that was started between Haflingers and Icelandic Horses, was established in the early 1900s to assist in the development of roadways and hiking trails within Banff National Park up in Canada. Their broad chests and fluffy winter coat make living up in the cold Rockies bearable, and their densely muscled bodies make all the hard work they typically do possible for such a small breed of draft horse. Their size range varies, coming in around 13hh-15hh, with the tallest horses being only 15.0hh.

They tend to make a much better working horse rather than show horse and can often be used for carriage pulling and pulling farm equipment. They can still be ridden though despite being great working horses, and have retained the same unique gaits that Icelandic Horses are known for, the 'tölt' and 'skeið' gaits. They are typically hard working, easy going, and spirited horses, making for a great working or riding companion.

In recent years, the breed has come back into the spotlight after it had been more or less abandoned within the park and surrounding areas. Locals took it upon themselves to set up an event during the warmer months of the year to catch the wild horses, know as the "Summer Mini Round-Up". During the round-up, people from across the world can come and watch the horses parade through the main thoroughfare, making sure to keep an eye out on any horses they'd like to adopt after they've all been herded into the auction fields.

Salam Alaikum, friend, and Welcome!
An ancient ancestor of modern Arabians, Gulf Arabians were a highly prized breed coveted by Sultans and Peasants alike. This breed first appeared in the Gulf of Aqaba, near to the modern day "Dagger's Tip"; while they sport all of the same key features as your common Arabian, they also appear very different than what most breeders are used to. They're related closely to both the Kehilan and Abeyan ancestral families, but genetic testing and history has shown that there is an unknown, sixth family of ancient Arabians that have been lost to the sands of time. It's suggested that this sixth family were giants, some possibly towering over 18 hands or more. Gulf Arabians normally range from 16 to 17 hands, with the smallest being 15 and the largest ever recorded 17.2 hands. These are strong and resilient horses that specialize in speed and endurance, and have time and time again proven stronger than the desert they call home.

The Lone Bashkir Curly horse is a very unique and set apart breed. They are well known for their curly coats, caused by many gene mutations, and their versatility. Lone Curly Horses are often found as chestnut, but have a wide variety of colors, some more rare than others. They range in height from 13-16 hands, but are often found between 14-15 hands. These horses are found wild in Nevada, USA. Although they are wild, they are also known for their calm and gentle nature. Lone Bashkir Curly Horses got their name due to them not staying in herds with other horses. Since they are always separated, they often wander far into owned land and cause disruptions. They have very much grown in population, causing problems and wreaking havoc, therefore creating the need for a relocation organization. The LBC Organization is running a rehoming program to protect these horses while still preserving them. If you're interested, keep an eye out for LBCs looking for a new place to call home!

Range Trotters are the result of crossbreeding Orlov Trotters, Finnhorses, Welsh Cobs (section C & D) and Hanoverians. Later crosses of Quarter Horses, Paint and Appaloosas to gain color and to give a boost to their hardiness.With a height average of 13-15 hands, they're a hardy breed with characteristics for various disciplines.

Created for use as work, carriage and leisure riding horses originally, they now serve as long-distance range horses, such as work with Park Rangers and mounted officers.

Willing and eager personalities, most are quickly trained to be bombproof and therefore trusted mounts in all lines of work; some are being seen in local show jumping competitions, others are notably used in therapeutic sessions for their calm temperaments. Harness races and endurance trials are common for the breed, as they are able to sustain an extended trot without tire. Cross-Country competitions see some of the taller Trotters, but due to their cob lineage this is still uncommon.

Despite the variety of competitions and work these horses are being seen in, they are still famously skilled as endurance racers. Many competitors have chosen Range Trotters due to their tireless work ethic, as well as the ease in which they can be trained. Many have become champions in endurance trials, and they have quickly become a sought after breed for their natural ability.

rattle creek ranch started out as a breeder of bronc horses during the early 1900's. stock breeds, as well as a select few draft breeds, went into creating the rattle creek horse. rattle creek horses are well-known for being stocky but athletic, naturally inclined to sure-footedness and good balance. they vary widely in size, but most commonly measure from 14.0 HH to 16.0 HH.

due to long-standing interest as well as their fame, rattle creek no longer provides their horses for roughstock competitions. instead, the association now raises their horses for riding use. praised for their well-bred athleticism, rattle creek horses excel in other areas of rodeo, but have also been hand-picked for other disciplines outside of the rodeo circuit. after catching the interest of other stock contractors, rattle creek also occasionally facilitates the rehoming or retirement of ex-broncs or, more commonly, broncs who never took to the lifestyle to begin with.
