Horse breed popularity, like many other things fluctuates, and fads start and end, sometimes very quickly. There are a few breeds that are tried and true, and can be counted on to help build a successful stable. Others are fun, unusual, and may be more of a risk, but become popular nonetheless. Here’s a look at some of the most popular horse breeds in Ponybox stables.
Thoroughbred
Of course, the most plentiful breed of horses on Ponybox is the Thoroughbred. There are approximately 4,000 active horses and almost 60,000 retired TBs. Top breeders include Pepper Tree Thoroughbreds, Bucki Int Elite TBs and Devito International TBs. Thoroughbreds are amongst the high jumpers with horses like RSS ShotInTheDark, ! Ophelia and ! Risky In Black jumping 100” or higher.
Quarter Horses
American Quarter Horses are the world’s most popular breed, and they're pretty popular on Ponybox too. There are almost 700 active Quarter Horses and almost 15,000 retired. QHs are jumping in the mid-90 inch range and lower, so they are not high jumping champs. And, they tend to stay out of the top 100 in rank, although they do make a solid showing in the top 500 rankings. Top high jumping QH is ! Zemsta, who has a highest jump of 96”.
Standardbreds
Better known for their speed and prowess in harness, Standardbreds are nevertheless a popular breed on Ponybox. There are just over 100 Standardbreds active right now with a retired population of almost 3,000. The best Standardbred jumpers are clearing 90”, and several are in the top 20 horses. The top Standardbred jumper is PythonPonyPalaces STANDBR.
Appaloosas
Appaloosas are quite popular on Ponybox. There are about 200 active horses and over 3,000 retired. And there are few Appaloosas within the top 200 horses. The highest jump by an active competing Appy is 95.75". Diamond Ridge Stable is currently the top breeder of Appaloosas.
Waterhorses
Waterhorses have found a place in the sun on Ponybox. This exotic breed has captured imaginations and top breeders Turn Waterhorses and Fire of the Stars have produced horses that jump over the 90” mark. There are almost 100 active horses and about a 1,000 retired.
Welsh Ponies and Cobs
Hardy Welsh Ponies and Cobs have a good following. There are over 75 active and about a 1,000 retired. Right now, there is no one in the top breeder spots, which looks like a great opportunity for someone to campaign this breed.
Unicorn
Another exotic breed that has captivated Ponybox players is the Unicorn. The Unicorn ^Full Metal Jacket^, owned by Bitter Sweet Meadows had a highest jump of 110.25". Right now, about 350 Unicorns are competing, and there are almost 2,000 retired horses. The highest earning Unicorn has won 2,638,450 PB. |
