Horse Index

This is a index page to help you find the horse you were looking for--some horses have pages of their own, others are used as example under subjects of discussion. Horse breed links, plus the Hall of Fame pages and those horses that performed at the WEG are also provided here as well. 

Many horse and breed pages that were previously on this site have been incorporated into my books. This site tends to get to large for me to maintain and so I will periodically remove articles.
