The Cleveland Bay is probably the oldest British
breed, developed from a packhorse known as the Chapman horse. In the
17th century, Andalusian and Barb blood was introduced to produce a fine
carriage horse - named the Cleveland Bay. Motorized transport saw the
breed decline, but when crossed with the thoroughbred, the breed
produces excellent heavyweight hunters and carriage horses. |
