May's Horse breed of the month!

Okay, so I'm going to start horse breed of the month!
It's when there is a particular horse breed each month! so without further ado, i give you May's horse of the month...

THE SHAGYA ARABIAN!

Here's some info!
The Shagya Arabian was developed in the Austro-Hungarian Empire during the 19th century.Today it is usually seen in the Czech Republic, Austria, Romania, the former Yugoslavian countries, Poland, Germany, and Hungary but has been exported to other nations and it is bred around the world.
The Shagya Arabian has similar traits to the asil or purebred Arabian, with high carried tail, sound bone and fantastic endurance.
 Shagyas tend to be taller, less refined, and bigger-boned than purebred Arabians; the modern Shagya Arabian is usually at least 15 hands tall and usually 16 hands, whereas a standard Arabian breed ranges from 14.1 to 15.1 hands.
 This breed is recognized as a riding horse, and is also driven in harness. It was a hardy cavalry horse and is now popular in sport horse disciplines such as dressage, eventing and endurance riding.
