HACKNEY HORSES FOR SALE

The Hackney is a breed that was developed in Great Britain. In recent decades, the breeding of the Hackney has been directed toward producing horses that are ideal for carriage driving.  They are known for their great stamina, trotting at high speed for extended periods of time. In addition to inherent soundness and endurance, the Hackney Horse has proven to be a breed with an easy, rhythmic canter, and a free, generous walk. In motion, they are recognizable by their showiness and style, with distinctive high knee and hock action due to very good flexion of their joints.  Hackneys usually range in height from 14.2 to 16.2 hands and are usually bay, brown, chestnut or black.
