| description | The aim of this study was the characterization of some morphological parameters of some horse population improved with stallion of Arab, Hucul and English thoroughbred breeds. The biological material was represented by the stallions belonging to the three breeds and the population improved with them. Measurements have been made in order to determine the height at withers, oblique length of the trunk, cannon girth and weight. The height at withers presented smaller dimensions at the Arab and English thoroughbred breeds and at the Hucul breed the stallions had a height at withers of 140 cm and the improved population 143.80 cm. Oblique length of the trunk presented values slightly lower at the improved horses in comparison with the stallions used at mount. The English thoroughbred presented a value of 21.50 cm of the cannon girth at the improved population in comparison with the value of 19.5 cm obtained at the mount stallions. The weight has been lower at the improved populations than the one of the stallions. Most of the morphological characteristics of the improved population are close to the ones if the stallions used at mount. |
