Rules
1. Person posts a description of a horse.
2. Person guesses the breed.
3. Right guess gets to post a new description.
4. NO using the breed name (obviously).
For example:
This horse was bred in Colonial America, and was originally bred to run short distances. The breed can be registered in over ten colors, but variations of each color exist and provide countless combinations. During the Westward expansion, this breed was a favorite among the cowboys, who needed a horse with natural cow sense to help rope and cut cows. While this breed is still used in western events, it has begun to make a name for itself in English events, from Hunter Under Saddle to Dressage. What breed is this?
Obviously the American Quarter Horse  So that's an example. Now, here's the breed to start us off!
This breed has strong origins in Germany. The breed was originally developed as a plowhorse, but was adopted for riding. Today, this breed is seen primarily in English events, superstaring in Dressage and Show Jumping. In 1888 the official studbook was created, but before that, King George the Second of England founded the breeding program in Germany. What breed is this?

Im going to have a guess here. Im probably wrong but is it the Oldenburgh? I know in old times they use to be used as plow horses but are now excellent competition horses.

Here's one, not too hard:
This breed originated in the Netherlands, and were first used as warhorses. They are sometimes considered a light draft breed. Today there are two conformation types, the classic (which had a more common name than 'classic', but I feel it would give it away too easily. ) and the more modern. The more modern type is more sport horsey and more common nowadays in the show ring. These horses are very flashy and are used for Dressage, pleasure riding, and Driving.

hm... *taps chin thoughtfully* I'm about 90% sure on this one, but I'll hold my tongue and see if anyone else wants to give it a shot.
