Hackney horse, UK

The Hackney Horse breed's origins date to the 1300s, when the King of England required horses with a good trot to be used as general purpose riding horses. The "Modern" Hackney Horse developed during the 18th and 19th centuries in Britain. The Hackney Horse of today is a first cousin to the Thoroughbred; the same three Oriental stallions who were used to develop the Thoroughbred were also bred to native mares with excellent trotting skills.
