It is mostly used in the show ring today but is also very courageous and able to participate competitively in driving events. There is both a Hackney horse as well as a Hackney pony. The horse is 15-15.3 hh well the pony does not exceed 14 hh. Both have a base in the tradition during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries of English trotting horses.Christopher Wilson of Kirkby Lonsdale in Cumbria mostly created the Hackney pony by crossing Fell Ponies with selected Trotters and Roadsters. The Hackney horse originated in 1755 from a Thoroughbred named Blaze, grandson of Darley Arabian, sired a horse named Original Shales with a Hackney mare. Original Shales was then crossbred with English Trotters and Yorkshires Coach horse mares resulting in the modern Hackney. Google Ads
