History of hackney horses

Hackney is a breed of a high stepping carriage horse.

Height - Hackney pony not taller than 14hh, hackney horse 15 - 15.3hh

Colour- The hackney is usually dark brown, black, bay or chestnut with the occasional grey

Special Remarks - The Hackney is thought to be derived from the Old French Word haquenee, meaning "an ambling horse or mare, especially for ladies to ride on" that was perhaps used to differentiate them from the knights steeds.

The Hackney pony is a related, smaller horse, that is registered in the same studbook as the Hackney

Origin - England
