The following five profile drawings are a small sampling of the differences in some common breeds. Note the shape of each profile; often, the profile of the head is characteristic of a particular breed.
ARABIAN This elegant, fine-boned horse originated in the deserts of the Arabian Peninsula. Known for its speed and stamina in extreme conditions, the Arabian’s beauty and grace are unparalleled. Arabian bloodlines have long been used to establish new breeds, as their qualities are very desirable.
AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE A compact breed originating in North America, the American Quarter Horse is known for its speed and durability at a quarter-mile sprint. Primarily bred as a work horse and often used in ranch work, today’s Quarter Horse is found across the globe.
PONY OF THE AMERICAS This foal is a miniature version of the larger Appaloosa horse. The pony possesses the same characteristics as its larger cousin, including spots, but the pony measures between 46 and 56 inches, making it the perfect size for children to mount.
HAFLINGER Native to Austria, the Haflinger evolved in the Tyrolean area of the Alps. The breed takes its name from the village of Hafling, which is now part of Italy. Believed to be a horse with Arabian influence, the Haflinger is small in stature but mighty in heart. Its stocky build has made it a good workhorse as well as a good mount for numerous disciplines. Always chestnut in color, varying in shade from blond to dark chocolate, its mane and tail are long, thick, and flaxen to white in color.
SHIRE A large, big-boned draft breed specifically bred for heavy work, this horse originated in England and is one of the world’s largest breeds. It can be black, brown, or gray in color. Today’s Shires make beautiful parade horses, pulling large, decorative wagons, and can still be seen in their traditional roles in England.
Adding elements, such as tack and reins, can add interest to a composition.
