The term "BAROQUE HORSE" refers to a body style rather than an actual breed. The breeds most commonly considered "Baroque" in type are (but are not necessarily limited to) the Andalusian and Lusitano, Lipizzans, the Friesian and Knapstrupper and more recently many of the Shire, Gypsy and Drum horses. The "baroque horse" is typically thought of as a rather heavy, short-coupled, round-bodied, thick-necked horse with an overall regal or noble appearance. In art, they are typically quite hairy horses that sport a small to moderate amount of feathering. A "baroque" horse may be purebred or partbred, and as long as the body style is correct, any color is acceptable. A "baroque" horse may be a purebred of any of these breeds or a combination of several of them. This division registers these horses.
