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.
