The Dansk Varmblod registry was established in mid-20th century. The registry oversees the registration of Danish warmblood foals and approves stallions for breeding. As with most warmblood studbooks, only stallions who meet certain standards are permitted to breed. Foals with approved pedigrees may receive a brand depicting a crown over a wave.

While still a young breed, Danish warmbloods are currently represented at international competitions in both dressage and show jumping. The Danish Warmblood is still an uncommon breed in the United States, however in 2001 a North American Danish Warmblood Association was formed to promote the breed in the U.S.

Dole Trotter or Dole Gudbrandsdal
The Dole Gudbrandsdal has ancient foundations despite the National Dolehorse Association having been established in 1967. They originated in the Gudbrandsdal Valley of Norway, and probably descended from Dutch and Friesland horses, most notably the Friesian. Having similarities to the British Fell Pony and Dales Pony, it is likely the three breeds originated from the same stock.

There are two types of Dole horse: the heavier Dole Gudbrandsdal and the lighter Dole Trotter. The two breeds are commonly interbred today.

The Dole Gudbrandsdal owes much of it current characteristics to the stallion Brimen. They were originally used for pack or agricultural work until the age of mechanization, at which time numbers declined. In 1967, their state association and state breeding center was established, and their numbers began to increase.

Both the Dole Gudbrandsdal and the Dole Trotter must undergo tests and grading. The draft-type is judged on pulling power and its trot. Its lower legs are x-rayed, and if weaknesses show up the animal may not be used for breeding. The Trotters must have performed well on the racetrack to be approved for breeding.

The Trotting strain developed by experimentation with different crosses. One of the more successful crosses used the stallion Odin, described as both a Norfolk Trotter and a Thoroughbred. Odin's blood produced a lighter horse with a better trot stride, and maintained the power in the hindquarters. The stallion is present in all the pedigrees of modern Doles.

Other stallions that influenced the trotting type were:

• Balder (4): a grandson of Odin
• Mazarin, Toftebrun and Dovre: an Arabian stallion registered as being the foundation sire of the Dole Trotter

Falabella (Horse)
The Falabella horse is the smallest breed of horse in the world, reaching around 30 inches in size. [1] . Descended from the Andalusian breed, the Falabella developed in the pampas of Patagonia.

Fjord horse also called Norwegian Fjord Horse
The Fjord horse (known in Norway as a fjording ) is a rather short but very strong breed of horse from the mountainous regions of western Norway. It ranges from 137 to 147  centimetres (approximately 13.2 to 14.2  hands) in height and weighs from 400 to 550  kilograms (about 882 to 1210  lb ), which classifies it as a pony according to international rules (though it is always called a horse in Norway). This breed is one of the world's oldest and purest breeds. It is believed that the ancestors of the Fjord horse migrated to Norway and were domesticated over 4,000 years ago. [citation needed] Archeological excavations at Viking burial sites indicate the Fjord horse has been selectively bred for 2,000 years. [citation needed]

It has a strong neck, good feet, and a compact, muscular body. Despite its small size, it is fully capable of carrying an adult human and pulling heavy loads. It is always dun in color, brown dun being the most common. The Fjord also comes in three other varieties of Dun (color); grey, red, white and the extremely rare yellow. It has small brown marks over the eyes and on the checks and thighs. The ears bear dark outlines and tips. There is some "feathering" on the legs, and occasionally zebra-like dark horizontal stripes. The coat is thin and shiny in summer, but longer and furry in winter. The mane is long, thick, and heavy, but is usually clipped to between five to ten centimeters (two to four inches) so that it stands up, making grooming easier and accentuating the horse's strong neck and full-length dorsal stripe. In few other breeds does the dorsal stripe extend all the way from poll to tail. Fjords have their own unique conformation.
