The Trakehner is known for thin lines, grace, and endurance, all holdovers from its origin as a cavalry mount. Mares, of course, are female horses over the age of three. Because of their beauty and durability, Trakehners continue to be highly valued horses.
Scientific Name: Equus caballus
Characteristics: This Trakehner mare is pure white, even the ankles and hooves, which just a touch of black about the muzzle. Its mane has been fashioned for show, no doubt because Trekehners are popular in dressage events and other horse shows.
Size and Color: At 17.8 cm from nose to tail, this bright white Trakehner mare is about the length of an unsharpened pencil, but far more lovely to look upon.
