Breeding is getting so complex, all I understand is things that came from the Spanish people that came up into what is modern day Southwest USA. The Indians liked the horses (more like worshiped them), the Indians got too many horses for their own good and the horses became wild, Mustangs, Mustangs bred with TBs and such from England, the Quarter Horse was born, ect.

i dont know much at all about american genetics... or british lineages for that matter! lol breeders are sportifying everything these days, the friesians have become so much lighter and oldenburgs are far from their original coach-horse structures. its a shame but i guess things have to change. Exaggeration is the most horrible thing, although its worse in dogs than in horses

What do you mean? And Friesians aren't just changing in size/shape, they are being used for more things and becoming more common.

When I studied "native americans" they ate horses then rode them... |

Well, yes that is true. But that is because they didn't know the wonderful uses of horses, then they used them for war horses and worshiped them as gods.

didnt everyone used to eat horses? and the native americans still had great respect for all the animals who gifted them, they used to place the hearts of the buffalo they killed back on the plains where they were brought down. i think its so lovely, i wish people these days could have that kind of compassion
and aussie stock horses would be warmbloods i guess

the native americans are a kind of people that live off the land..if a horse is all they ahve to feed their family, they will. they are compasionate people.
i would imagine an aussie stock horse would be the same blood as a quarter horse..they are both stock horses. i am horrible with warm/cold blood, so help me out. haha. what is a quarter horse?

I'm pretty sure Native Americans didn't actually worship horses. Not like Egyptians worshiped cats or anything, at least.
My mother studied the Native Americans for years.
But they did have an amazing bond with horses. Possibly greater than most people today do with ours.
norsu - Not mine! Haha.
I leased a QH gelding for years and well, I guess it was because he was old.
But most do. If you have ever gone to a rodeo in the United States, it's amazing how much strength they have roping cows and barrel racing.
