About the Cleveland Bay Breed
.Claimed as the oldest “established”
breed of English horses, the Cleveland Bay is said to be possessed
to an unrivalled extent of the power to transmit to any other
breed with which it may be crossed those qualities for which
all breeders look, namely, stamina, substance, action, wear
and tear with style, appearance and good colour.
The chief use of this horse today is for mating with the Thoroughbred
to obtain hunters of quality, up to weight and of good conformation,
and for this purpose it is admirably suited. For a long time
past it has been exported with great success, chiefly to America
and the Colonies, to grade up to those qualities to which reference
has been made horses of inferior breeding.
The breed is of great antiquity and its origin is uncertain,
but it may be taken for granted that for a long period of time,
in the district of Northern England, and chiefly in the county
of Yorkshire, the breed is indigenous. More than a hundred years
ago the Cleveland must have been the nearest to a fixed type
of any race of horses in England, but none the less there were,
even then, two types of Cleveland, the one used for agriculture
and the other for coaching. It was claimed for the former, and
indeed is so still, that it would do all the work of the heavier
breeds, that it had the advantage over the Shires and the Clydesdales
of being a clean-legged horse, and that it did the work more
quickly, being very actively legged. For people in England and
other countries it has served well as a ceremonial carriage
horse in processions and other displays, and it has always been
famous as a coach horse. The whole bay colouring, as the name
implies, was suitable and attractive. A team of these bays to
a road coach, with their level, striding action, is a sight
that must be appreciated by all judges of a good horse.
A general description of the Cleveland Bay is:
Height, 15.3 to 16 hands, on short legs. Colour, bay to bay
brown, with only a small white star permissible and a few grey
hairs in heels and coronets. Body, wide and deep and not too
long, but strong, with muscular loins. Quarters, level powerful,
long and oval, with tail springing well away from them. Head,
rather large, but well carried on a rather long, lean neck.
Limbs, strong and muscular with knees and hocks well closed,
not less that 9 inches of bone below the knee, the legs clean
of superfluous hair, with sloping pasterns.
