This article failed the Ga noms due to lack of references. Tarret 22:25, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
I think that horses without a link should be removed, so I'm going to move them here so that in the future when they do have a page, they can be readded to the article Kearney6 19:10, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
All the horses on the list that has been removed from the article appear to be listed in the appropriate category. I'll add the category itself to the article if it isn't there already. But lists are most certainly discouraged per the wikipedia WP:MOS unless the purpose of the article itself is to be a list, so they really DO need to go. But rest assured, they ARE categorized already. Montanabw (talk) 22:18, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
Cold-blooded horses? (2nd par.) Can that be right?
According to this site, the warm/cold-blooded distinction seems to be a completely different thing to what a zoologist would mean by the terms. Instead, horses descended from the smaller Arabian or Barb are considered warm blooded, whereas all other horses are cold blooded. Loganberry ( Talk) 03:48, 7 November 2005 (UTC) "Hot/Cold/Warm blooded" refers to the temperament of horses and ponies.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Patch There's no suggestion here that this sport was once famous. Adios Butler was as well known in the Sixties as Cassius Clay. At the very least there should be a link to the good Wiki article on Dan Patch, an American icon, the subject of Hollywood movies. Sic transit gloria. Profhum ( talk) 08:02, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

I would have liked to include a reference to the 1st harness race ever. Padua claims to have been the first, on 22nd of August, 1808, but I see that New Haven, Connecticut, could have been two years earlier. Does anyone know any reliable sources about that?

This article is almost totally unsourced. It's either copied from somewhere or it's original research, either way Wikipedia shouldn't be hosting it. 212.74.97.221 ( talk) 04:50, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
"The pace is an unnatural gait for horses, and hobbles are used to maintain the gait at top speed;" this is incorrect, pacing is natural and preferred for horses with the pacing gene mutation, ref page on Standardbred horse. Hobbles are not needed to keep the horse pacing rather than trotting but help prevent horses breaking into canter 82.41.74.198 ( talk) 09:11, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
