Almost all horses in America are descendants of ones brought here by the Spanish and that escaped to the wild. Horses have only been here for about 400 years. But I know some amazing warmbloods bought overseas and imported. They can jump anything.

How on earth would you know PA? So far, your knowledge about equines is definitely lacking.....typical city boy thinking. Most of the breeds in the US today started in Europe.

I'd give my left nut to have an Andalusian.....but the Paso Finos are sort of cute too with their little "skippy" gait. Of course, I'd also love to have an Arabian, a Quarter Horse, a Thoroughbred, hell...ANY horse! Personally, I love to jump.....the feeling of the power from the animal is awesome!

I saw my first blue roan the other day. That is a pretty horse.

Aylee, aren't they just? A friend of my cousin had one when we were younger.....he was so pretty....in the sun, he shone the prettiest blue colors!

That is like claiming the Native Americans never had horses until the Europeans got here. They had the good horses- and the ones brought from EU were inferior and still are.

Is anyone reminded of Monty Python? "Were they South African swallows?" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4_9kDO3q0w edited to add link

The Europeans then re-introduced them.

Ever read any Indian folklore or history? They used dog sleds before the Spanish imported horses. There's a lot of documentation for this: Edited to add wiki horsiness...

They also did not know how to plant corn until they got here.

I always thought the roans looked kinda like a paint gun exploded near them, lol. But I do have a real soft spot for a beautiful dapple gray :)
