- Limousin -

The registry for the National Show Horse was begun in 1981 by Gene La Croix, mainly to extend the impact of the Arabian horse through the N.S.H.R., the breed being a blend of Arabian and Saddlebred in varying proportions. Horses can take after either "parent" breed. The Limousin is a heavyweight hunter type, and the most influential breed in the development of the Selle Francais.
