Moyle horses are famous for their frontal bosses, referred to
as horns, thought to be inherited from Asian ancestors. Moyle horses were
developed in Idaho by Rex Moyle from Mustangs brought from Utah. According to
some studies, it is said that the Moyle may have descended from the Spanish
Carthusian horses.
Moyles are extraordinarily fast and agile--more than most
breeds. They perform well in the equestrian arena as well. They excel on race
tracks, endurance competitions, and do well over jumps. They are extremely
strong. Their conformation is stronger than most breeds. Moyle horses have an
exceptionally large rib cage and their internal organs are large. Moyles have
strong shoulders that are widely spaced and muscular forelegs. The Moyle breed
is rare and its numbers are declining. They are intelligent and willful;
however, also friendly.
