Horse
There are more than 150 different breeds and types
of horses in the world. The development of each of them
has been influenced by man. Domestication resulted in
selective breeding and, in many instances, more nutritious
feeding, both of which led to an increase in the size
or the quality (or both) of the horse. However, the
biggest influencing factor was the work which humans
required their particular horses to perform. Those who
needed to move heavy loads bred for strength, while
others in need of fast transportation bred for speed.
The terms coldblood and warmblood (which
have nothing to do with temperature) are used to describe
horses. Coldblood refers to the heavy draught breeds
which are believed to be descended from the prehistoric
horse of northern Europe. Warmblood refers to the lighter,
riding type of horse. Nowadays the term "warmblood"
is used in connection with the horses being bred for
competition riding.
