United Kingdom
(Great Britain)

    I have chosen to make a separate page for each of these countries for two reasons:  1) There are too many breeds for one page, and 2) I still think of them as separate countries!  I will use the colors of the flags for each of these individual countries even though I don't have pictures of the flags right now.
    The Yorkshire Coach horse is a British breed of heavy harness horse that was popular 150-200 years ago, but which has since virtually died out.  The Yorkshire Coach was produced mainly by crossing English Thoroughbreds with Cleveland Bay horses.  Another derivation was by crossing Arab and Barb stallions with Yorkshire draft mares.  These crossings resulted in a horse of refined appearance up to 66 inches in height, suitable for drawing the elegant coaches of fashionable Londoners.  (I would love to find out more about this breed; if you know anything about it, please contact me!  Thanks!)
