Hi! I just wanted to let you know why I reverted a bunch of the names you added to List of horse breeds. Some people like to add lots of names, but we are kind of careful about keeping the list organized and under control. First off, there has been consensus by editors on the article that horse breeds should not be added without an accompanying article in wikipedia (what red links are there are old ones and desperately need articles made for them, otherwise they really shouldn't be there at all). Second, there needs to be proof that a "breed" is really a "breed", such as the existence of a breed registry, or consensus of experts that a group of horses warrants such designation. (The Kentucky Horse Park site is a suitable source, for example.) Finally, some "breeds" aren't "breeds" they are either subtypes within a breed, or else a "type" of horse, for which the article has a separate list, farther down the page. Thanks for understanding, and if you'd like to help create some of the breed articles that are redlinked, we would be ever so grateful. Do also check out WikiProject Horse breeds, if you'd like to.
