Barb horse
Barb horse or Berber horse (Arabic: حصان بربري) is a northern African breed with great hardiness and stamina. The Barb generally possesses a fiery temperament and an atypical sport-horse conformation, but nevertheless has influenced modern breeds. == Characteristics == The Barb is a light riding horse noted for its stamina. It has a powerful front end, high withers, short back, a sloping croup, and carries its tail low. It is hardy with clean legs and sound hooves. It does not have particularly good gaits, but gallops like a sprinter. It was used as breeding stock to develop racing breeds such as the Thoroughbred, American Quarter Horse, and Standardbred.〔Reddick, Kate, ''Horses''. New York: Ridge Press, 1976, p. 60.〕 The predominant color is gray, but bay, black, chestnut, and brown horses are also found. The Barb stands at the withers.〔Edwards, Elwyn Hartley (1994).
