You make a good point, Lif.  As I mentioned previously, there were 4 
variations of the horse--the Arab, the Przewalski, the Tarpan, and the Great 
Forest Horse.  Breeds are a more superficial subdivision, are a 
post-domestication phenomenon, and other than the Arab and the Przewalski, 
have resulted in blending of the subtypes (primarily the Arab, Tarpan, and 
Great Forest Horse).
