Whatever Happened to That Breed...Equines of the United Kingdom |

| Type: | Pony/Warmblood |
| Origins: | |
| Uses: | Pack pony |
| Breeds influenced: | Clydesdale (?), Dales, Fell |
| Notes: | It was found in the Scottish borders until the 19th century. Breeding of the Galloway stopped when new breeds found to be more useful. |
Norfolk Roadster (Trotter) | |
|---|---|
| Country/Region: | United Kingdom |
| Type: | Warmblood |
| Origins: | |
| Uses: | In harness, carriage, trotting |
| Breeds influenced: | Breton, Dales, French Trotter, Hackney, Latvian Harness Horse, Suffolk Punch, Toric |
| Notes: | It was thought extinct in early 20th century. Recently, some were discovered (Kidd, Horses & Ponies). A few pure-bred Norfolk Roadsters now exist and, at this time, the future of the breed does not look hopeful. Perhaps enthusiasts will work toward bringing back this once popular and useful breed. |
