Hi, I'll take on this review, though I'm not too familiar with man-made breeds of animals, that might in fact be a good thing (so you can get objective views). FunkMonk (talk) 09:22, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps it would be good to separate the registration info from the characteristics info, as in Azteca horse?
Maybe add one more image[1], to show the range in colouration? The head profile is also shown better there.
Some of the terminology is a bit hard to follow for the uninitiated, but I guess that's what wikilinks are for. But maybe it could be mentioned that "geldings" are castrated, since the term is used quite a few times?
I'm not sure if the word "excellent" is appropriate, isn't it a bit subjective? "and make excellent trail mounts in rugged terrain." Maybe say they are regarded as such, instead of saying they are?
That's it from me, sources for both text and images look good. FunkMonk (talk) 09:42, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review, FunkMonk! I definitely appreciate reviews from non-horse people, as they help catch things (like jargon) that fly right past me. I think I've addressed all of your comments above. I don't really like any of the pictures in the article, but there isn't anything better on Commons or free online :( Oh well, hopefully one of these days someone will upload something better... Thanks again, and please let me know if there's anything else that needs work. Dana boomer (talk) 15:09, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
