When people think of Kentucky, they often think of pastures of elegant Thoroughbreds or a day at the races. But Kentucky’s horse story takes us deep into the Appalachian Mountains of eastern Kentucky where lush pasture is scarce and one’s survival often depended on a sure-footed mountain horse. Through selective breeding, the Appalachian people developed a multi-purpose “using horse” who possessed both a comfortable, ground-covering gait and a willingness to work with its human partner. This is the story of “the horse that built Kentucky.”
