Dales History
|
The Dales family of horses come from a northern area of
England, the Pennines to be exact. They are a style derived from the Dales Pony
of England, which is a complete pathology to a European background. They are
notably strong and bode great endurance along with a kind heart. Experts
believe they have become a breed from the Pennine Pony styles, which would be
later cross bred with the Friesian styles soon after their initial creation.
The Scottish people then had their own take on the breed, making them a cross
breed variation with the Scottish Galloway variation. This newly designed horse
breed increased the speed and made it an all around better athlete. They
continued on to be bred with many other styles as well, such as the Clydesdale,
Yorkshire styles, Norfolk Terrier, and the Welsh Cob stallions. The Dales
horses were created to be a pack horse and are useful for carrying
those heavy loads that the farmers and workers did not want to bare. Currently,
they are utilized as a form of horse used by little ones for riding lessons and
have a distinct attractiveness.
