Enjoyed reading about the Morab and the Merens, neither of which I have heard of. Let's move on to N. Going to start with New Forest Pony :-)
(Sob, sob - trying to upload photos of the foals I saw there in May and all the files are too big) :-(

Nez Perce - can't think of a book featuring the horse, although Spirit of the West by Jahnna N. Malcolm is apparently about a Nez Perce girl who goes to live on an Oregon Ranch so may include the horses. (Haven't read it)

Just to add to the Nez Perce Horse post, I did a little research and have found Nez Perce horses featured in a short story called Oregon Outlaw by Carol Vaughan. It's in Pony Magazine Annual 1971. I've read it and it's a pretty good story. More here

The only other one I can think of is the Nonius - from Hungary - very beautiful, was lucky enough to see some when I went to Hungary years and years ago.
Let's go on to O

This certainly is a good thread for learning! We did used to have a Hungarian forum member pity she's not still around, we could have maybe found out more about it. I don't think there are many Os. Mine is Orlov Trotter. No book though.

Oldenberg is the only other one I could think of too.
P is a little easier.

That was the breed/book I was thinking of (although couldn't remember the title, just the author - seem to remember it was quite a sad book but many years since I read it).

My P - Pampa Horse - Horse in the Clouds by Helen Griffiths. Another one I haven't read as her books tend to be a bit grim!

Peruvian. I definitely don't know any books with that breed in.

Apparently there is also a Quarter Pony, a smaller version of the Quarter Horse! I can't think of any more Qs though.

Let's go on to R although I think that might be a tricky one as well. I can only think of Rocky Mountain Horse (again not sure of any books with them in)

Racking Horse - again not sure of any books featuring them. For a second I thought that said 'Rocking Horse' ! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Can we include it pretty please? Can even think of books featuring them including The Rocking Horse Secret by Rumer Godden and Merrylegs by Paul Brown.
