There is nothing like a Hackney, and the allure is magnetic. This high stepping "aristocrat of the show ring" is not only captivating but breathtaking. A.J.
The Origins of the Hackney Breed
The origins of the Hackney as we know it began in Norfolk, England where the horses called Norfolk Trotters had been selectively bred for elegant style and speed. Seeking to improve on both accounts, breeders mated the Norfolk mares to grandsons of the foundation sires of the Thoroughbred. The first Hackney as we know the breed today is said to be The Shale’s Horse
