About this equine breeds map

This interactive map presents horse breeds according to their main region of origin. It allows visitors to visualize the geographic distribution of equines, including riding horses, draft horses, sport horses, hardy ponies, and many other remarkable bloodlines.

Each marker represents an equine breed associated with a territory of origin. When available, a link provides access to a detailed profile covering its history, morphology, uses, coat colors, temperament, and unique characteristics.

Why are horse breeds linked to their territory?

Equine breeds developed according to climate, terrain, human activities, and local breeding traditions. Mountain horses, island ponies, agricultural draft horses, and oriental riding horses each reflect a specific adaptation to their environment.

An evolving map of horses around the world

This map is continuously expanded as new breed profiles are added to the encyclopedia. Some locations may represent a general region of origin rather than an exact point, especially for ancient, cross-border, or multi-regional breeds.
