00:00 In this video, you will discover the rarest horse breeds in the world.
00:04 Are you ready to get to know the Akalteke, the Maroawi or the American TrécrÚme?
00:10 So let's get started!
00:11 The Curly, officially called North American Curly Horse or American Bashkir Curly,
00:17 is a horse breed unlike the others.
00:19 Known for its rarity, it is characterized mainly by its curled fur that many prefer not to comb
00:25 so that the curls do not lose their magical effect.
00:27 Yes, just like human hair.
00:29 The Curly is also known for its great endurance, its robust constitution and its hard fur.
00:35 As for personality, this breed, which comes directly from North America,
00:38 also distinguishes itself by its good friendly and social character, its reliability and its intelligence.
00:43 So many qualities that make it easy to train.
00:45 But the most surprising is not there, because the Curly would also have another great advantage,
00:49 especially for people who suffer from allergies.
00:51 Indeed, this breed is considered, according to some, as a hypoallergenic,
00:56 which means that an allergic person could touch, manipulate or even mount a Curly without fear of an allergic reaction.
01:02 Unfortunately, this belief has not yet been proven.
01:04 Nevertheless, this horse breed has enough to impress more than one person.
01:08 Among the most beautiful breeds of horses, and the rarest that exist, there is the Akal Teke,
01:13 which many call the heavenly horse or the jewel of Turkmenistan because of its great elegance and its precious breed.
01:19 You may have already had the opportunity to discover this horse in a beautiful dress on the canvas,
01:23 without however having enough information about its breed.
01:25 Let me tell you a little about it.
01:27 The Akal Teke is a horse that comes straight from Turkmenistan,
01:30 where it was raised for centuries during the Akal oasis by the Teke tribe.
01:34 From Kazakhstan to China, kings and soldiers once threw their devils on this horse in the Hautin port.
01:39 Considered by many to be the most beautiful breed that exists,
01:42 the Akal Teke is also a strong horse and an excellent competitor in horseback and endurance races.
01:47 It is also known for having easily won endurance races of 500 km.
01:51 Nowadays, it is mainly for horseback and obstacle jumping that this exceptional breed with great potential is adopted.
01:57 Which is not surprising given that this horse has a morphology as fine as it is dry.
02:02 We can't talk about rare horses without mentioning the Pony Dales, one of the emblematic equine breeds of England.
02:08 As its name suggests, this mountain pony owes its name to the Dales, that is to say to the valley from which it is originated.
02:14 And it has long served man by contributing to the extraction of lead.
02:17 You will understand, the Pony Dales is a working horse known for its strength and great robustness,
02:22 its intelligence, its courage, its endurance and its calm temperament.
02:25 Thanks to its good bone structure, it is able to support the weight of a person, even heavy.
02:29 Despite its small size, it is also an excellent horse for horseback riding or trekking or long hikes in all confidence.
02:36 Because the Pony Dales is a sure horse that generally does not panic in difficult situations.
02:40 With so much quality and a single horse, this breed is an exemplary equine.
02:44 Before continuing, it is time to answer the question of the day.
02:47 In your opinion, what is the breed of the hero horse that played in the film "Horses and Men"?
02:51 Answer A) Pursant, Answer B) Arab, or finally Answer C) Icelandic.
02:56 Think carefully and write your answer in the comments.
02:59 You will know if you are right or wrong before the end of the video.
03:02 We resume.
03:03 On the Iberian Islands, off the coast of Scotland, lives a species of almost extinct pony, the Eriskei pony,
03:08 which would be one of the last, if not the last, survivors of pony populations born on these islands.
03:13 It is said that this breed, of ancient origins, was once used as a "butter horse",
03:17 working and living in rustic conditions and enduring a harsh climate due to the wind and humidity that reigned in the region.
03:23 However, all this has allowed the development of the robustness of the Eriskei ponies and to make them versatile and friendly horses for humans.
03:29 But did you know? This breed almost disappeared in the early 1970s because of mechanization.
03:35 Nevertheless, thanks to the efforts of a number of people, including a vet,
03:39 the number of Eriskei ponies increased as time went on, from 20 to about 300.
03:44 We hope that their population will grow even more in the future.
03:47 One of the breeds of horses that we do not often meet is the Newfoundland pony, an equine breed from Canada.
03:52 Nicknamed "horse of the poor", this breed is considered a "basque pony" since it is used as a pony to do everything.
03:58 It is actually a versatile, friendly, intelligent and docile horse,
04:01 characterized by a healthy genetics, strong hooves and legs, but also by its ability to adapt to the cold.
04:07 It also has a very thick mane and coat, as well as a low tail that allows it to withstand fairly harsh weather conditions.
04:15 But that's not all. Thanks to their shape and the hair that covers them, its ears are resistant to frost,
04:21 while its cap-covered eyelids protect its eyes against rain and snow.
04:24 A good natural fur, then. And then there is another surprising fact about these ponies.
04:29 Indeed, some of them can change color from one season to another,
04:33 going from black in winter to blue-red in summer or from alfonsine in winter to red-red in summer.
04:39 Which is, let's face it, quite impressive.
04:42 Unfortunately, this breed is currently on the list of endangered pony breeds,
04:46 as there are less than 500 in the world.

04:56 We continue.
04:57 The American Traycreme is, as its name suggests, a horse of very American traits.
05:01 However, it also owes its name to its cream-colored dress, which distinguishes it from other horses.
05:06 Its exceptional fur, as well as the mane and white tail that characterize it so well, make this breed one of the most beautiful in the world.
05:13 In addition to that, it is also a docile, calm, easy-to-train worker horse.
05:17 However, the American Traycreme is also very rare.
05:20 Descending from a pair of the gene Champagne Cream, officially recognized as a Tray breed in 1950,
05:25 the American Traycreme has known years of glory before seeing its population dangerously weaken,
05:30 especially after the growing mechanization of agriculture and the inactivity of the association in charge of it.
05:36 The breed was nevertheless saved at the end of the 1970s, and the American Traycreme was able to regain its colors.
05:42 Today, there are a few hundred that could well become thousands in the near future,
05:46 thanks to the many efforts made to preserve it.
05:49 If there is a breed of horse that remains popular despite its rarity, it is the Cope Gypsy.
05:54 These beautiful horses with fascinating fur and plumage around the hooves are indeed known for their calm temperament,
06:00 but also for their strength and power, even if they may seem small to you.
06:04 Although it is said that they may have been trained by the gypsies of Great Britain to pull their caravans,
06:08 the Cope Gypsies are also good for horseback riding, and are suitable for riders,
06:12 even those who have just started or who are not yet experienced enough.
06:16 The Cope Gypsy, however, requires a little more care than other horses,
06:20 as its fur needs to be washed, disheveled and brushed frequently.
06:24 In addition, this horse is characterized by a slow metabolism, which is why it needs a specific diet.
06:30 If you decide to buy a Cope Gypsy one day, then know that you must provide it with all the care and attention it deserves.
06:37 There is an exceptional breed of pony known as Exmoor.
06:42 Considered one of the oldest breeds of horses in the world,
06:45 this pony is characterized by its double-layered fur, which is made up of an almost waterproof outer layer,
06:50 and by its particular dental constitution, which allows it to eat foods that other animals could not ingest.
06:56 However, Exmoor has experienced difficult times during the Second World War,
07:01 and the breed almost disappeared because of its use, since only about fifty Exmoor ponies survived the end of the war.
07:07 Fortunately, we managed to preserve the breed thanks to the re-construction of herds.
07:12 Although their number has increased considerably, Exmoor ponies are still among the rare equine breeds that exist.
07:19 Imagine a very large horse, whose weight can reach up to 1,100 kg.
07:23 Here is the Shire horse, an equine breed that is native to England.
07:28 And the least we can say is that this is a very impressive horse,
07:31 to the point that it has won several records for its very large size.
07:34 Nowadays, there is even a whole show dedicated to this horse.
07:38 Yes, the National Shire Horse Spring Show, which takes place every year in Great Britain,
07:42 is the biggest show where you can come to admire this magnificent horse.
07:45 Unfortunately, it is also one of those breeds that do not exist much in the world.
07:50 Indeed, in the 1960s, the number of horses that were once adopted for agricultural work
07:55 exceeded one million or more to a few thousand only.
07:58 It is true that their number has started to increase again from the 1970s,
08:01 and we find them today all over the world, such as in Canada, the United States and Australia.
08:05 However, this equine breed is still considered a risk breed.
08:09 There is a Portuguese horse breed called Soraya,
08:12 which today has about 200 individuals in the world.
08:15 Small in size, this wild horse is known for its great resistance to environmental conditions.
08:19 In addition, the fact that it is a herbivore plays an extremely important role in the preservation of ecosystems,
08:24 as it contributes to the protection of the forest and the regeneration of the landscapes thanks to natural pasturing.
08:30 It is also for this fundamental role that it plays and that has been lost with the extinction of the ancient wild herbivores
08:36 that Soraya is planned to be introduced into other areas of wild rearing in Portugal.
08:41 Here is the Suffolk Punch, a breed of English-born horses.
08:45 As its name suggests, this horse is native to the Suffolk region.
08:49 At first glance, you may not find anything special about it,
08:52 but know that this equine has a characteristic that distinguishes it.
08:55 Its dress is still Alzan.
08:57 In addition, the Suffolk Punch is considered a horse with a very good foot shape,
09:02 even if in the past it was found that it had too small soles for its large mass.
09:06 Originally developed for agricultural work,
09:08 the breed was also used to fire artillery and non-motorized vehicles in wartime.
09:13 However, it began to disappear from the middle of the 20th century,
09:16 because of the mechanization of agriculture.
09:19 At the beginning of the 21st century, the Suffolk Punch was considered the rarest equine breed in the United Kingdom.
09:24 However, the number of tendrils has increased to this day.
09:26 Indeed, this breed remains very useful,
09:29 not for agriculture, but for forestry work or for drawing.
09:33 Have you ever heard of the Marwari?
09:36 To discover this particular breed of horse, let's go to India,
09:40 and more precisely in the Rajasthan region, where it is from.
09:43 A robust horse, the Marwari has always been used for cavalry
09:47 and remains today ideal for horse riding.
09:50 But what characterizes this horse the most is not its robustness or its dress,
09:54 but rather the shape of its ears, which are curved inward and can even touch sometimes.
09:59 It is this unique physical characteristic that makes the Marwari so popular outside India, despite its rarity.
10:05 Because yes, the Marwari is a rare equine breed that almost went extinct in the 20th century,
10:10 especially during the period of British colonization.
10:13 But fortunately, this breed has survived.
10:16 However, its export has remained prohibited for decades before being allowed again,
10:20 but in small numbers only.
10:22 Well, we can say that today the Marwari can have happy days.
10:25 You know things about Denmark, but I'm sure you don't know what their horses look like.
10:30 I'm talking about the Knapstrup.
10:33 Be careful, you're going to be stunned.
10:35 This breed of Danish horses is the cross between an Andalusian pair of Dachshunds
10:39 and a Fredericksburg stallion.
10:41 These breeds can vary from leopard, snowflake or wild boar and many others.
10:45 It's a bit like the Dalmatian of horses.
10:48 The Knapstrup has an extraordinary beauty. It's a solid, robust, rustic horse
10:53 and very easy to tame, because it has a very good temperament.
10:56 It has a heavy head, but at the same time very harmonious.
10:59 It's not a horse for competition, but rather a horse for leisure,
11:02 ideal for small walks by the sea.
11:04 It needs sweetness, love, tenderness and above all, no brutality.
11:08 In fact, a long time ago, these exceptional horses were used by the Danish army
11:12 during the First Schleswig War.
11:15 But since their noticeable dress made them very easy targets,
11:19 they were doomed to other disciplines.
11:21 The Knapstrup is very popular for its dress,
11:24 so that when it passes by you, it's more than a parade,
11:27 it's a real show that is offered to your eyes.
11:29 At first, you will have a hard time getting used to this all-sultry dress,
11:32 but eventually, you will realize that this horse is much more beautiful
11:35 than it looks in the photos.
11:37 You just watched an old movie "The Horse from the Sea"
11:40 and you were so overwhelmed by the beauty of the horse breed that it appears
11:43 that you would like to know which one it is.
11:45 No need to open windows on Google, we tell you everything,
11:48 just stretch your ear and open your eyes to see this wonder on the ground.
11:52 This is the Cobb Gypsy, a charismatic horse full of charm,
11:55 native to the British Isles.
11:57 It is recognizable from afar, in particular thanks to its slender appearance,
12:00 its high head, giving it a proud look, its atypical line,
12:03 its horns and its fluffy and dense fins.
12:06 The Cobb is a cold-blooded horse, it is friendly and gentle,
12:09 and that's what makes it so successful.
12:11 It is used mainly for leisure, entertainment and equiterapy.
12:15 No wonder, it's a British.
12:17 To own one, you will have to spend all your savings,
12:19 because it is a horse of value.
12:21 And as I know you have fallen in love with it,
12:23 you are already thinking of buying one.
12:25 If Central Asian countries fascinate you, and more particularly Turkmenistan,
12:29 you will be even more amazed by the horse that comes from this region.
12:32 Do you want to know what breed it is?
12:34 Watch out for your eyes, what I'm going to show you may dazzle you.
12:37 The Akhal-Teke horse is a breed of salt horses,
12:41 famous for its incredible golden reflection,
12:43 its elegant and fine morphology, its impressive musculature,
12:46 but also for its endurance and its almost unbeatable speed.
12:49 Akhal-Teke is raised in Kazakhstan, in Russia,
12:52 but also in many Western countries,
12:54 which wanted to bring this exceptional breed home,
12:57 like Germany, Switzerland, the United States and France.
12:59 Apart from all the beauty it brings,
13:01 the Akhal-Teke has a majestic and harmonious look.
13:04 When it walks, you feel it light and very flexible.
13:07 In terms of temperament, it is known to be reliable, intelligent,
13:09 but a little lively, nervous, stubborn and capricious.
13:12 You are already thinking of buying one,
13:14 but what I just said about its temperament has cooled you down a bit.
13:17 It doesn't matter, you have at least a good reason to visit Turkmenistan now.
13:21 You know a lot of horse breeds,
13:23 but I'm sure you've never seen the one I'm going to show you.
13:26 Put your seatbelts on and follow me, we're off to Norway.
13:29 I present to you the Fjord,
13:31 a magnificent breed considered pure,
13:33 descended from primitive Asian horses,
13:35 arrived in Norway by the East and national emblem of the country.
13:38 A golden beige-dressed horse,
13:40 characterized by a short mane and a short-haired morphology.
13:44 It also stands out for its heavy pony head and thick neck,
13:47 a little pronounced mane,
13:49 wide and muscular legs,
13:51 dark and spaced eyes.
13:53 It is loved for its qualities of a placid horse,
13:55 soft, agile, flexible and above all versatile.
13:57 It is mounted or ateled at work, in agriculture, as in horse breeding.
14:00 Even though it is small, it is endowed with incredible strength,
14:02 being able to carry heavy loads and carry adult men.
14:05 A real wonder!
14:07 The trip to Norway on a horseback was torturous,
14:09 but admit it, you don't regret coming.
14:11 Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to see such beauty with your own eyes.
14:15 You've been surfing the internet for a while now,
14:17 looking for a beautiful painting to hang in your living room,
14:19 when you stopped in front of a masterpiece.
14:22 On top of that is a magnificent Appaloosa.
14:24 If you find it enrapturing,
14:26 it's because this breed, from the original United States,
14:29 has extraordinary physical characteristics.
14:31 It has a plump coat, whose colors and shapes vary.
14:34 With a plump cape, leopard or marbled,
14:36 it has a small straight head,
14:38 with a marbled skin towards the ends of the face,
14:40 a long neckline, a wide chest,
14:42 well-shouldered ribs,
14:44 a medium-high hip,
14:46 fleshy thighs, muscular and wide forearms,
14:48 which are pointed towards the knees,
14:50 as well as a sharp, straight and wide jaw.
14:52 The Appaloosa is docile, calm, agile and very receptive,
14:55 which makes it cooperative.
14:57 It is also very robust and resilient.
14:59 It draws its blood from its ancestors,
15:01 the Quarter Horse and the Pure 100.
15:03 The painting may cost you a fortune,
15:05 but since it's a love at first sight,
15:07 and you can't get enough of it,
15:09 you can already imagine it hanging in your living room wall.
15:11 You've heard of the Pure 100 Arab,
15:13 but you don't know much about it.
15:15 You can't tell it apart from any other horse.
15:17 Listen carefully, I'll tell you everything that makes it exceptional.
15:20 Coming straight from the Middle East,
15:22 the Pure 100 Arab is recognized as the most beautiful horse on the planet.
15:25 Its equine breed is also one of the oldest in the world.
15:28 Its exceptional beauty, its concave profile,
15:30 its majestic head, its raised tail,
15:32 its arched neckline,
15:34 make you want to look at it.
15:36 Very appreciated, the Pure 100 has something mysterious about it.
15:39 It is graceful, flexible, light,
15:41 a bit like a star dancer.
15:43 Its fine dress, with variable colors,
15:45 its short and silky hair, its big dark eyes,
15:47 its deep and lively gaze, but also very expressive,
15:49 its open nostrils, its powerful and thin legs,
15:52 all this altitude really gives it its nickname of "desert prince".
15:56 The Pure 100 Arab is not only beautiful,
15:58 it is also agile, dynamic, fiery, hypersensitive,
16:00 intelligent, curious, smart, over-skilled,
16:02 and especially extremely fast.
16:04 It also likes cuddles a lot and tends to appreciate human warmth.
16:07 It's true that by hearing this, you may be a little afraid to approach it,
16:10 but rest assured, it's the most beloved of all horses.
16:13 There you go, you have plenty to recognize it now.
16:16 You've seen several breeds of powerful and impressive horses so far.
16:19 Now I'm sure you want a little sweetness.
16:21 Watch out, your little heart is going to melt, here's the Falabella.
16:24 70 kg of love and 80 cm of cuteness,
16:27 this miniature horse is one of the most beautiful horses in the world.
16:30 Originating from Argentina, it owes its name to a family
16:33 known for raising this breed of equine horses.
16:35 Even if it seems all fragile and cheeky,
16:37 it is no less a horse than any other.
16:39 It has an impressive strength.
16:41 It is a rustic horse and not very capricious,
16:43 which, however, needs space.
16:45 It is an excellent companion animal.
16:47 It is adorable and very endearing.
16:49 It also likes all kinds of disciplines,
16:51 including clearing and horse riding.
16:53 Otherwise, it would get very confused with the peasant landscape of your small farm,
16:57 where it can stay there and do nothing,
16:59 apart from grazing all day long.
17:01 Just seeing it is a real pleasure.
17:03 I know you would love to have one,
17:05 but since you don't have a farm, you're disappointed.
17:07 Maybe you should start thinking about having one,
17:09 after all, 10 meters, Falabella.
17:11 You love animals a lot, but not horses.
17:13 Yes, I admit it's rare not to like horses.
17:15 But today, I'm going to show you an exceptional horse
17:17 that will certainly change your mind.
17:19 Look at this wonder.
17:21 The Morgan is a breed from the United States.
17:23 It is about 1.50 meters tall.
17:25 It has an expressive head
17:27 with thin lips, a wide forehead,
17:29 big piercing eyes,
17:31 a arched and thin neckline
17:33 that gives it an elegant, delicate and very refined look.
17:35 It has a compact body and a harmonious silhouette,
17:37 but at the same time athletic.
17:39 The Morgan is incredibly powerful,
17:41 docile, intelligent, courageous,
17:43 loyal and, above all, very versatile.
17:45 It excels in all areas
17:47 leisure, equestrian discipline,
17:49 horseback riding, competition, it will never disappoint you.
17:51 It is also a true friend
17:53 since the Morgan is very sociable.
17:55 It loves human warmth and is very loving with its owner.
17:57 In short, it is a horse born to please.
17:59 I know you feel a little ridiculous
18:01 to have prejudices about horses,
18:03 but now I'm sure you've changed your mind
18:05 by seeing the Morgan.
18:07 Do you like Andalusia?
18:09 Do you want another reason to love it more?
18:11 Take a deep breath and feel all the Spanish strength
18:13 that this magnificent Andalusian horse has.
18:15 A horse without the same.
18:17 The Andalusian is a show horse
18:19 that amazes you just by standing in front of you.
18:21 A light grey dress,
18:23 a compact, well-built, powerful and very refined body,
18:25 this elegant horse is endowed with a strong presence.
18:27 It lacks a little speed,
18:29 but it is nevertheless unbeatable in terms of agility.
18:31 Besides, it was once a war horse.
18:33 But since he found his letters
18:35 from Nobel Laceo today, he is very fond
18:37 of his unusual elegance.
18:39 It is characterized above all by its natural aptitude
18:41 for the field and for the passage.
18:43 The Andalusian horse is an easy-to-train
18:45 and intelligent horse.
18:47 It is proud and brave,
18:49 normal for a Spanish.
18:51 It is endowed with a pleasant,
18:53 docile and resistant temperament.
18:55 It is usually him that we show
18:57 during the Corridas in Spain.
18:59 This little portrait gave you a bit of nostalgia
19:01 and you are disgusted that you cannot go to Andalusia,
19:03 watch a Corrida and admire a beautiful,
19:05 pure Spanish breed.
19:07 But wait until your next vacation.
