That we possess in Britain a great bay horse of strength and grace; a breed so ancient that foals can carry the vestigial leg stripes and the dorsal stripe (eel line) of the Tarpan, the now extinct European Wild Horse; is an enigma. Its origins are mysterious but are steeped in antiquity. Its association with those eponymous Yorkshire hills are legendary. This horse bears no resemblance to the native pony breeds, nor to the 'black' hairy legged heavy types introduced into Britain by the Celtic tribes and later others by King John, who imported a hundred stallions from France. The association of the Cleveland Bay with Yorkshire and the proximity of Hadrian's Wall are not coincidental, but rather the result of an introduction made some 1,836 years ago.
