Schleswig horse

(

... that the Schleswig horse (pictured) is on the endangered list of domestic animal breeds?

Comment: new author so no QPQ. A hook based on 5 stallions might work if reffed.

... that the Schleswig horse (pictured) is on the Food and Agriculture Organization's list of endangered domestic animal breeds, having reached a low of only 5 stallions and 35 mares in 1976?

An expanded proposed hook per Victuallers' comment. Montanabw^(talk) 15:53, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Size OK; Date OK; Refs. OK; No too close paraphrasing of sources. I've modified the Alt1 hook to refer to theFood and Agriculture Organization rather than the German society as that is a more well-known authority. Hook length and format OK; hook facts are moderately interesting, and properly referenced. Good to go with Alt1. BabelStone (talk) 20:35, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
