Cleveland Bay stallion in the show ring

Cleveland Bay is always a bay horse. No other colour is allowed except a small white star and some white in the mane and tail. Believed to be the oldest breed in Britain (besides the native ponies), the Cleveland Bay was bred in the Cleveland area of north-eastern England. The foundation stock is said to have dated back to the times of the Romans, and there are records suggesting that the breed was in existence in medieval times.
