by Tom 47 is back in his bear COAT on November 21st, 2009
Saw the others, so won't repeat them. Arabian, Appaloosa, Palomino, Belgian Draft horse (close relative of the Percheron), Icelandic horse, Tarpan. Mustangs are considered a breed by many. Mongolian horse, probably the toughest little horse in the world.

My brother(only 11 years old-going on 12 early-next month) can name you most of the equine breeds.
by bagicide stayed 10 months too long on November 22nd, 2009
How many would you like? Saddlebred, Standardbred, Thoroughbred, Quarter Horse, Tennessee Walking Horse, Missouri Foxtrotter, Rocky Mountain Horse, Kentucky Racking Horse, Appaloosa, Belgian, Percheron, Shire, Clydesdale, Suffolk Punch, Halflinger, Fjord, Cleveland Bay, Hackney, Trakhener, Hanoverian, Connemara, Fells pony, Shetland Pony, Welsh Pony, Dutch Warmblood, Friesian, Pony of the Americas, Morgan, Peruvian Paso and Paso Fino (which may be the same thing as Narragansett Pacer), Icelandic Pony...hmmm, I'm running dry here. I was trying to stick to only breeds that I personally have known or worked with, so I think I've got them all. There are other breeds, of course, like the Italian Draft, but I haven't worked with them.
Oh wait, there was a small breed that I saw at a show once called a Canadian Warmblood or light draft, something like that, that looked like a cross between a Morgan and a Percheron. I only ever saw it at the North American Carriage Driving Classics (Walnut Hill Farm Show and the Canadian Classic), so it had to have been centered around Ontario and would have been in the region where the Morgan developed and where the Percheron was first imported. I'd forgotten about them.
by Stargater on November 22nd, 2009
Arabian, Appaloosa,, Mustang,Exmoor Pony, Welsh Mountain Pony, Pinto, New Forest Pony.Quarter Horse ( but i'm not sure if that's a separate breed)

Palomino comes to mind.
by milkhoney on November 22nd, 2009
Only one I can think of not mentioned is Tennessee Walking Horse. They stand funny. My mom's has a Quarter horse, but it looks like a full horse to me.

Do unicorns count?
by CatLover-The Original is Proudly Canadian on November 21st, 2009
WHAAAAA!!!!!!! Everyone stole my answers. Wait, what about the pygmie pony? Not the Shetland, there is one even small than that called the Pygmie. Honest
I just realized no one mentioned a Pinto sometimes called a Paint. Is a Zebra considered an Equine? They crossed a horse with a zebra and called it a Zorse! I know. More than you wanted to know but fun anyway.

What about a Akhal-Teke? They have a metallic coat and I just learned of the breed not long ago. I own a flea-bitten grey arabian mare, standardbred mare, clydesdale cross quarter horse gelding, tennessee walker cross quarter horse mare, and a bunch of purebred reg'd and unreg'd quarter horses. Horses are da' BOMB!

Since many people named more common ones, how about some rarities, at least rare in the USA?
Criollo
New Forest and Exmoor Pony
Selle Francais
Lusitano
Rhinelander
Holsteiner
We bred appaloosas and quarter horses for many years in California.
by Arisztid on November 27th, 2009
Nobody mentioned them so...
... Gypsy Vanner
http://www.gypsyvannerranch.com/images/HorseBios/ER%20Gypsy.htm
http://www.gypsyhorses.com/ ... has some of the history of the breed.
They were bred by my people very specifically and are truly fantastic animals to this day. If I could have a horse, I would have a vanner and not just because they were bred by my people. They are THAT good.

I don't see Russian Don up here. I've seen Tennesse Walking horses, but never that more esoteric breed.

Ok i wasn't sure lol
by XOXMSperfect on November 21st, 2009
They origianlly were the wild horses of North America, descended from the first horses brought by the Spaniards. They became the "ponies" of the Plains Indian tribes. They were mostly of the ancient Arabian breed but changed and adapted somewhat in the wild state.
