About this title

Synopsis

This esteemed collection of American Hackney Stud Book registry entries, spanning 1895-1906, offers a glimpse into the history and evolution of the American Hackney breed of horses. Hackney horses emerged in 18th-century England from selective breeding for elegance, versatility, and athleticism. With time, they became sought after for harness racing, and this book chronicles the importation and development of these horses in the United States. Detailed pedigrees and information on stallions, mares, and their offspring provide valuable insights into the lineages and characteristics of American Hackney horses during this period. The book reflects the meticulous record-keeping practices of the American Hackney Horse Society and serves as a testament to the passion and dedication of breeders who shaped the breed's legacy in America. Its comprehensive documentation makes it an invaluable resource for enthusiasts, breeders, historians, and anyone with an interest in the rich history of Hackney horses.
