As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
I wonder over things in their origins. The Clydesdale horse is one such animal, as it could have just as easily been named Avonsdale or the Highlander like the cattle, as this draft breed, originated from the English Shire horses, bred for war which were pulling chariots of soldiers in operations against Legions of Rome.
To this, came the Flemish draft horses in the blacks to the livestock rearing region of Scotland known as the valley of the river Clyde and Avon.
There was the Lochlyoch breed of Scotland which was the ancestry of the foundation stud Glancer 335 and a horse of England known as Thompson's Black Horse, at the turn of the 18th century to the 19th.
This progressed to Broomfield Champion 95, who produced a number or progeny, and the next progression would be the Galloway region of breeding which formed a great part of the modern Clydesdale.
None of this is of interest, but it interests me to know from whence a stock cometh. The English warhorse, pulled a chariot not of cinema in one warrior, but apparently were more a war wagon which could move over rough ground in placing troops quickly on the field.
This progressed to the knight horse which was required to heft a 400 pound load of armour, and it was from this the Flemish stallions were imported.
It seems historically the Israelite exiles somehow acquired these large heavy horses and kept them. The Belgium of Belgium, the Percheron of France, the Fjordi of Norway, the Flemish from the lowlands, and the Shire horses of England which were hybridized into the Clydesdale in Scotland.
The Shemite Arabs would produce their high strung Arabian breed, but what inhabited the rest of the planet in Mongolian nags and Spanish barbs were, so much more a donkey, than what would be deemed a horse.
It seems in most cases, that from the period of 1750 to 1850, the English progressed most of the modern races of animals, and what the English did not breed, the Americans filled in with Quarterhorses to Plymouth Rocks.
If one reviews the old drawings of what horses, cattle or foul looked like, they are ghastly looking things, appearing more like something of dwarves or famine. That period was a real advancement of all humanity, and if arose from the Anglo Saxon Scotts primarily and the Americans secondarily.
It is one of God's miracles and hereby noted here.
