My next horse breed!

Since I am not able to get on the Internet on Friday's I will be doing horse breeds whenever I can so here is the next horse breed.         
             Barb
      

Country of Origin: Middle Asia
Color: The Barb is found in many colors, including dun and palomino.
Height: 13.2 to 15 hands
Profile: The Barb is an ancient breed that was established in the Fertile Crescent of Middle Asia. The fast and agile Barb was a favored mount for the Berbers. In fact, the animal draws its name from this group of “barbarous” people. The Barb was originally a prized warhorse, which explains its worldwide distribution. As the Berbers conquered new lands, the horses left behind were bred with native stock. Barbs were most plentiful along the coast of Africa and the Moors used them to invade Spain. The horses were later taken by the Conquistadors to the New World and “liberated” by American Indians. Blood of the Barb flows through the veins of many breeds, including the Thoroughbred, American Quarter Horse, Standardbred and Mustang. Few original Barbs remain in the world; most were gathered from the wild in the United States by Barb Horse Registry founder Richard Painter in the 1950’s to recreate the original type.

Hi girl I havn't seen you on here in like forever. I just stoped by to see if you have posted something and YOU DID! So I stopped what is was doing long enough to read your post, and I found out that your post is a wonderful thing. We just now started to study parts of Asia and I was wondering if they had horses or if they did what would they be and you gave the answer to me! Thanks for sharing these!
