There are two different versions of the pedigree of Frost's Adonis H8 in volume 1 of the Hackney Stud Book. His entry on page 5 makes no mention of his sire but says he is out of a mare by Wroot's Pretender H596, while the entry for Wroot's Pretender H596 on page 231 lists him as his son. Both versions are impossible as Wroot's Pretender H596 was foaled in 1788 when Frost's Adonis H8 was five years old.
According to Henry F Euren, Hackney Stud Book, volume 1, introduction, page 60, Wroot's Pretender H596 was first known as Young Pretender. This means there must have been an earlier stallion called Pretender and it was probably he who appears in the pedigree of Frost's Adonis H8.
A footnote to the entry of Cobbin's Prickwillow H607 in the Hackney Stud Book, volume 1, page 236, says - "Worthy, the Sire of Flamingo, was a renowned Trotter, sired by Worthy by Pot-8-o's; his dam - reported to have trotted 2 miles in six minutes, and 18 miles in an hour - was by Lord Abingdon's Pretender".
There is also evidence that Wroot's Pretender H596 may have been foaled later than 1788, which would make it even less possible that he is an ancestor of Frost's Adonis H8. The Hackney Stud Book, volume 1, introduction, page 58, quoting a correspondent for the Sporting Magazine, who was writing from Kirby Stephen on July 11, 1821, when Wroot's Pretender H596 was 33 years old, says - "Mr. Lawrence must be mistaken respecting his age, as the horse in question is now serving mares in Westmoreland and Cumberland. He was brought last year out of the East Riding of Yorkshire by a 'break-neck dealer,' being 'turned adrift,' no one suspecting it possible for him to propagate his species any longer: but I have seen 10 or 12 of his produce (yearlings) as well as foals this season, which are very promising".
The pedigree of Wroot's Pretender H596, compiled from the Hackney Stud Book, is as follows:

It was Henry F Euren who first stated that Jenkinson's Fireaway H201 was by Driver H187 but he gives no evidence for this assertion. The old stallion cards of the descendants of Jenkinson's Fireaway H201 make no mention of his sire, although most of them state that his dam was by Joseph Andrews. There is, however, a stallion card for Pride of the Isle, who travelled the northwest corner of Lincolnshire in the 1860s, which gives a very complete record of his breeding, the end part of which reads - "Gt. gt. grandsire Old Fireaway, the property of Mr. R. West, Gaywood, Norfolk: Gt. gt. [gt.] grandsire Pretender from whose stock the original Fireaway descended. Pretender was a Chestnut foaled in 1771, by Marske, the sire of Eclipse; his dam by Bajazet, the son of the Godolphin Arabian".
There is, as far as I know, no doubt that West's Fireaway H203 was a son of Jenkinson's Fireaway H201, so it would appear from the above that the "Old Fireaway, the property of Mr West" was Jenkinson's Fireaway H201, a son of Lord Abingdon's Pretender.
The following entry appears in the Stud Book Trotteur Francais, volume 1, page 39:
"Old Phoenomenon (1/2 s. anglais) par The Norfolk Cob.
Ascendance male directe:
The Norfolk Cob - Old Wildfire - Y. Fire Away - Old Fire Away - Pretender (p.s.)
- Marske (p.s.)".
This line is identified as :
Old Phoenomenon = Bond's Norfolk Phenomenon H522
The Norfolk Cob = Wright and Goold's Norfolk Cob H475
Old Wildfire = Burgess' Fireaway alias Kirby's Wildfire H208
Y. Fire Away = West's Fireaway H203
Old Fire Away = Jenkinson's Fireaway H201
The following advertisement appeared in the Virginia Herald of Friday, March 11, 1803, page 4, column 4:
"The Beautiful Horse Young Pretender, was imported by the subscriber from London, and will cover Mares the ensuing season, at his plantation near Mr. Richard Too's tavern in Spotsylvania county agreeable to the following prices; - Ten Dollars for the season, Five Dollars for a single leap (if paid at the time of covering, if not the price of a whole season will be demanded) and Five Pounds for insurance. The season will commence on the first of April, and terminate on the first of August.
Pedigree Young Pretender was got by Mr. Jenkinson's famous horse Pretender, his sire by Lord Abingdon's celebrated running horse Old Pretender, that beat the famous imported and well known racer Old Shark, over the Bacon [Beacon] course at Newmarket for 1000 guineas; his grandsire by old Mask, the sire of Shark, the much famed old Eclipse, &c. - His dam was got by Hyder Alley, this horse was the property of Christopher Blake esq and stood at Grange, near Wakefield, in the county of York, at ten guineas the season, and five shillings to the groom for each mare. - Hyder Ally, was got by old Blank, his dam by Regulus, his grandam was the much celebrated old Mexbury mare, the property of the late lord Chedworth, she was the dam of Mab, Phoenix, and Sophia, and got by a full brother to the Curwin Mexbury; Mexbury was got by the Curwin bay Barb, and own brother to the dam of old Partner.
Young Pretender is a beautiful blood bay, five feet three inches high, rising four years old [foaled 1799], remarkable for strength; his action and form inferior to no horse on the continent.
Daniel Hyde".
The following letter appeared in the American Turf Register and Sporting Magazine of November, 1832, vol 4, no 3, page 157:
"The Imported Horse Pretender. Spotsylvania, Oct. 1, 1832. Pretender was got by Jinkinson's Old Pretender, he was first called Fireaway; was a celebrated roadster and trotter; he won many trotting matches on the flat country of Norfolk and Lincolnshire fens, at the rate of sixteen miles an hour. The dam of Young Pretender was an excellent hunter, the property of the Rev. Mr. Pennington, of Alford, in Lincolnshire, of whom I bought him, a two year old colt. I brought him along with Tupp to this country in the fall of 1801. I broke him the fall that he was two years old, and travelled him from Lincolnshire to London, where I shipped him for Norfolk, Va. from thence I travelled him to Mr. Daniel Hyde's farm to whom I sold him. Mr. Hyde being a well informed good man, kept him among the great farmers over the ridge, some years, where he did good among the Dutch mares and to his owner. He was always a healthy sound horse, and an excellent trotter.
Wm Smalley".

Wroot's Pretender H596 was sold at public auction in 1806 at Long Sutton, Lincolnshire and the advertisement for the sale in the Norwich Mercury of February 15, 1806, says - "He was got by Mr. Jenkinson's Fireaway, dam by Joseph Andrews".
John Lawrence, who had knowledge of this horse for some years before the auction, in The History and Delineation of the Horse in all his Varieties, published in 1809, pages 172 and 173, says - "Pretender, a son of Cub, was out of a well-bred daughter of Lord Abingdon's Pretender, by Marske. Pretender, by Cub, I was informed, without being compelled to believe the fact, trotted a mile in two minutes and a half. He was a successful stallion, and exclusive of the consideration of fast trotting, the Fen country has, from the above sources, produced the most active, strongest and best-shaped road stock, to be found in this kingdom".
A footnote to the entry of Wroot's Pretender H596 in the Hackney Stud Book, volume 1, page 231, says - "The dam of Wroot's Pretender also the dam of Allenby's Atlas, and sister to Clifton's Old Statesman and Allenby's Diana". This was taken from an advertisement of rounds from when the horse was young which says he was - "got by Jenkinson's Fireaway, out of a mare by Joseph Andrews (also the dam of Allenby's Atlas), sister to Mr. Clifton's Old Statesman, and Mr. Allenby's Diana, both excellent racers".
The following entry appears in the General Stud Book, volume 1, 5th edition, page 95:
GOLIAH MARE (sister to Allanby's Diana),
1758 ch. c. Statesman, by Sultan - - Mr Allanby
1761 ch. c. Young Statesman, by ditto - - Mr Clifton
1768 b. f. by ditto - - - Mr Vernon
1769 b. c. by ditto - - - Mr Wentworth
This pedigree can be traced no further, but she has no descendants
in the Stud Book
Mr Allenby's Statesman ran as Mr Clifton's and won many races on the flat, as did Mr Clifton's Young Statesman.
Mr Allenby's Diana, a chesnut filly by Trout's or Bolton Goliah, ran as a six year old in 1757 and was the sister to the dam of Clifton's Old Statesman, so cannot be the sister to the dam of Wroot's Pretender H596.
Mr Allenby's bay filly Diana ran as a four year old in 1768 and was probably the sister to Clifton's Old Statesman and the sister to the dam of Wroot's Pretender H596.
Mr Vernon's bay filly ran as Sister to Statesman as a three year old in 1771 and is the only mare on record that can possibly be the dam of Wroot's Pretender H596.
It would seem, however, from the above information, that the footnote to the entry for Wroot's Pretender H596 should read - "The GRANDAM of Wroot's Pretender also the dam of Allenby's Atlas, and sister to Clifton's Old Statesman and Allenby's Diana".
The following advertisement appeared in the Boston Independent Chronicle, April 18, 1794:
"Traveller, a full bloodied horse, 16 hands high, imported from England, was got by Redstreak: dam by Chaplin's Blacklegs: grandam by Allanby's noted Blind horse (own brother to Diana), which was got by Goliah which won seven King's Plates in one year. Charlestown, Mass. David Wood".

WROOT'S [YOUNG] PRETENDER
H596 1788
A stallion card for Young [Black] Harkaway by [Johnson's] Harkaway for the 1849 season says - "[Johnson's] Harkaway's dam by Hemswell ; grandam by Old Pretender, which trotted 16 miles within the hour, carrying 16 stone, beating Old Atlas ; Pretender's sire J. Jenkinson's Old Fireaway, which trotted 2 miles on the Oxford Road in 5 minutes, and was afterwards sold for 1000 Guineas ; his dam by Joseph Andrews".
The Old Pretender in this pedigree must be Jenkinson's Pretender, as the records show that the dam of Wroot's Pretender H596 was neither by, nor descended from, Joseph Andrews. Jenkinson's Pretender, though shown here as by Jenkinson's Fireaway, was in fact previously called Jenkinson's Fireaway and was sired by Lord Abingdon's Pretender. He was a famous celebrated trotter who won many trotting matches at the rate of sixteen miles an hour, the same rate recorded for Old Pretender when he beat Old [Allenby's] Atlas. It may be that Jenkinson's Fireaway was sold to Mr. R. West, Gaywood, Norfolk for 1000 guineas.
The History and Delineation of the Horse in all his Varieties, by John Lawrence, 1809, page 172, says - "and the best trotters which have appeared, and which are now to be found in Lincolnshire, Norfolk, and that vicinity, have proceeded from Old Sheilds [Shales]. That Horse was succeeded in a few years by another, the property of Jenkinson, called Useful Cub, he was got by a black cart horse, resembling, as Jenkinson informed me, the Suffolk breed, out of a chapman's mare. Much of the stock above-mentioned has been bred from this Horse. They were distinguished, in the first produce, by the round buttock and wide bosom of their cart-bred sire, and as I observed in many of them, speed was predominant ; but the stock was soon improved by crossing with racing blood".
John Lawrence also says - "When I was in Lincolnshire in 1770, old Schales was in the height of his reputation. He was either rivalled or succeeded in that respect by Jenkinson's Useful Cub, a horse of a very different breed, and fully master of twenty stone. In 1779 I trotted nearly a mile with this horse, and his speed (as I judged by my own hackney - a tried one) was above the rate of 20 miles an hour, though he carried 17 stone".
Blake's Old Farmer S174 , a foundation sire of the Suffolk Horse, if the same stallion as Wallett's Farmer, was closely related to the dam of Wroot's Pretender H596, so it is not impossible that the sire of Wroot's Pretender H596 could be akin to the Suffolk breed as well.
The following entries appear in volume 1 of the Yorkshire Coach Horse Stud Book:
Page 197
"Farmer's Glory 736. Sire West's Horse 911. 1st dam by Harrison's Horse 774. 2nd dam by Butterfield's Horse 690".
Page 226
"Useful 893. The property of Mr. West".
"Useful 894. The Property of Mr. Walkington. Sire West's Horse 911. 1st dam by Harrison's Horse 774. 2nd dam by Butterfield's Horse 690".
Page 230
"West's Horse 911. The property of Mr. West, Heddlethorpe".
The following entries appear in volume 1 of the Cleveland Bay Stud Book :
Page 105
"Useful 332. The property of Mr Walkington. Sire Mr. West's Horse 517. Dam by Mr. Harrison's Horse 503. G dam by Mr. Butterfield's Horse 495. Brother to Elegant 386".
Page 118
"Elegant 386. The property of Mr. West. Sire Mr. West's Horse 517. Dam by Mr. Harrison's Horse 503. G dam by Mr. Butterfield's Horse 495. Brother to the dam of Rainbow 246".
"Farmer's Glory 393. Sire Mr. West's Horse 517. Dam by Mr. Harrison's Horse 503. G dam by Mr. Butterfield's Horse 495. Own Brother to Useful 332 and Elegant 386"
Page 153
"Horse 517. Sire of Elegant 386 and Useful 332, and the Dam of Rainbow 246. The property of Mr. West".
The evidence here points to Useful Y893, Useful Y894 and Useful C332 being the same horse and the chart below suggests that West's Useful Y893+894 C332 may be identical with Jenkinson's Useful Cub.
The name Useful Cub may be a corruption of Useful Cob, specifically a cob named Useful. The usual definition of a cob is 'a short-legged, stout variety of horse, usually ridden by heavy persons'. This is the perfect description of the produce of a cart horse resembling the Suffolk breed and a warm-blood mare. R S Summerhays in The Observer's Book of Horses and Ponies, 1968 edition, page 219, in the chapter on the Suffolk Horse, says - "With so admirable a foundation it is not surprising that efforts have been made by many to cross the Suffolk with Thoroughbreds and Arabs in the endeavour to evolve heavy-weight hunters and cobs. These attempts in general have met with varying success, as must always be the case where violent admixture of hot and cold blood is used as a first cross. None the less many good specimens have been produced which have from time to time evoked great enthusiasm".
A lesser known definition of a cob is "a horse not castrated". A cob is anything round and in the northern dialect of England a cob is a testicle, hence a cob, "a horse who has his cobs". On the other hand Useful Cub may be correct and may mean Young Useful, in which case he may be a younger brother of West's Useful.
The colour and breeding of West's Horse Y911 C517 are not recorded in either the Yorkshire Coach Horse Stud Book or the Cleveland Bay Stud Book, so it is not known if he could be described as a 'black cart horse'. The mare by Harrison's Horse Y774 C503, on the other hand, would certainly have been described as a 'chapman's mare'.

The majority of French Trotters trace back in the male line to a little-known stallion called Young Rattler, a direct descendant of the Godolphin Arabian.
He is registered in the Stud Book Trotteur Francais, volume 1, page 63, as :
"Y. Rattler (1/2 s. anglais) b. 1811. Rattler (p.s.) et N. par Snap (p.s.)".
His sire is registered in the Stud Book Trotteur Francais, volume 1, page 47, as :
"Rattler (p.s.) b. vers 1800. Old Rattler et Snap mare".
Les Courses en France by Charles du Hays (1863), page 72, says :
"Y.Rattler, anglais, 1811, importé 1820, par Rattler (fils de Rattler et d'un Snap mare), et une fille de Snap non tracé".
Handbok for Hastvanner, by C G Wrangel (Revised edition 1911-13), volume 1, page 96, says Young Rattler was "a Norfolk horse", "bred in England" and "his dam and grandam were by the same Thoroughbred sire Snap".
Available evidence suggests that Snap 1750 by Snip was the sire of the dam of Rattler. As this Snap died in 1777 and a mare from his last crop in 1778 would have been 33 years old when Young Rattler was born, it seems more likely that the dam and grandam of Young Rattler were by different stallions called Snap.
Dictionnaire de la Race Pure, by Charles du Hays (1865), says of Young Rattler :
page 150 - "Rattler v. 1810, par Old Rattler et Snap mare, inconnue".
page 424 - 'Snap mare v. 1808 [dam of Rattler], par Snap 1802 et inconnue".
page 171 - 'Snap 1802, par Delpini et Garrick mare is. Monimia".

An advertisement for two stallions to cover in Norfolk which appeared in the Norwich Mercury in April 1777 concerned "the two trotting horses called Useful Cubb and Hero, both being brothers" and was "Signed Thomas Jenkinson of Lutton, near Long Sutton in Lincolnshire, breeder of the above two horses".
The entry for Wright's Creeper H170 in the Hackney Stud Book, volume 1, page 68, says his sire was Wroot's Pretender H596 and his dam, who trotted two miles in six minutes on the road between Long Sutton and Wisbech, was by Hero. This Hero must have been the full brother to Useful Cub, the sire of Wroot's Pretender H596.

All Cleveland Bays trace back in the male line to Skyrocket Y862 C280. The pedigree of Skyrocket Y862 C280 is not recorded in either the Yorkshire Coach Horse Stud Book or the Cleveland Bay Stud Book. William Scarth Dixon in The Influence of Racing and the Thoroughbred upon Light Horse Breeding, page 51, says - "Perhaps no horse did more good in his day than a horse named Skyrocket, who was owned by Mr. Tommy Masterman of Nunthorpe, and who flourished in the early years of the nineteenth century, or perhaps a little earlier. He filled the country with good horses, and to celebrate his many good qualities Mr. Masterman's neighbours presented him [in 1820] with a silver cup worth five guineas [ten guineas according to the Yorkshire Coach Horse Stud Book, volume 1, page 221, and the Cleveland Bay Stud Book, volume 1, page 51] - no inconsiderable sum in those days. What would one not give for a look at that cup now? Skyrocket was also reproduced on ornamental tumblers, one of which I have in my possession. No pedigree of this horse remains that I am aware of, but the representation of him on the glass shows him to have been very blood-like in appearance - considerably more blood-like than the Cleveland Bay of that date, who was rather on strong lines. It seems by no means improbable then that this horse was by a thoroughbred, and it is certainly possible that that thoroughbred might be the son of the Snap mare. It was a common plan in Yorkshire in those days to name a horse after his sire, especially if the sire was a famous horse and the son was kept for stud purposes. Of course this is mere surmise, but there seems some possibility of a foundation for it, and there is no doubt about the reputation of Mr. Masterman's horse as a sire, so it is perhaps worth a moment's idle speculation".

All Suffolk Cart Horses trace back in the male line to Crisp's Horse S404 and they are all descended from the Norfolk Trotter and the Yorkshire Coach Horse through the stallion Barthropp's Hero S88.
The Hackney Stud Book, volume 1, pages 41 and 42, in the introduction, quoting an advertisement in the Norwich Mercury of April, 1772, says - "Goldfinder, chestnut, 3 years old, 15.3 hands high, bred by Thomas Giddings. He has a fine forehand, goes well on his legs as any colt whatever. Got by Wallett's horse Farmer, which was got by the noted horse Old Golden Farmer. Farmer's dam was got by a noted horse of Mr. Epworth's, which was a son of Goliah". It is possible that Wallett's horse Farmer was the same horse as Blake's Old Farmer S174.
The entry for Blake's Old Farmer S174 in the Suffolk Stud Book, volume 1, page 389, says he was chesnut, foaled about 1760, bred by Mr Garthsides and got by Wallett's Golden Farmer by Rigby's Fearnought. His dam by Eyven's Stud. Pick's Turf Register, volume 1, page 78, says Pamela was bred by Mr Garthside in 1740 and got by his Fearnought, son of Doctor, out of a daughter of Mr Darley's Manica. Pick's Turf Register, volume 1, page 473 says Sobersides was foaled in 1729 by Lord William Manners's Doctor, son of the Cyprus Arabian.
The Ipswich Journal, Saturday, April 6, 1765, Number 1366, says - "To Cover this Season, At Andrew Blake’s, in St Margaret’s Parish, Ipswich, at Twelve Shillings a Leap and Trial. The noted Bay Horse, call’d, Young Farmer, now rising eight Years old, full fifteen hands and an Inch high, and Master of any weight: He was bred by Mr Garthside in Lincolnshire, got by Mr Wallet’s famous Golden Farmer, Son of Rigsby’s Fearnought; his Dam by Mr Eyoon’s Studd, remarkable for Strength and Moving. He is very certain in getting Foals, and, as near as can be computed, there are upwards of 70 Mares with foal by him at this Time. Andrew Blake. N B All Gentlemen who had their Mares cover’d last Season by the aforesaid Horse, and are not with Foal, may have them covered this Season, at 7 s 6 d each, and the Trial of the Season as before".
The Ipswich Journal, Saturday, April 19, 1766, Number 1418, says - "To Cover this Season, At Andrew Blake’s, in the Parish of St Margaret, Ipswich, The Noted Horse Young Farmer, At 12 s a Mare, Leaps & Trials; and to hazard none, as ‘tis well known in the Neighbourhood he is very certain in getting Foals. Young Farmer was the Property of the late Mr W Garthsides of Lincolnshire, bred by Mr Garthsides; got by Mr Wallet’s famous Golden Farmer, Son of Rigsby’s Fearnought; his Dam by Mr Eyvon’s Stud, remarkable for Strength and moving: He is free from Blemishes, goes as well as any strong Horse in the County, and is allowed by good Judges to be a fine strong Hunter. There’s few able to perform with him either in the Field or upon the Road.—This is the third Season of Covering, & he has got as fine, promising, boney Colts, as any Horse whatever. The above Horse will be at Hadleigh on Mondays, at Woodbridge on Wednesdays, and sometimes at Saxmundham on Thursdays, and the other Part of the Week at Home".
Blake's Farmer was bay, foaled in 1758 and had his first foals in 1765.
The Ipswich Journal, Saturday, April 11, 1747, Number 426, says - "This is to give Notice, That the Famous Horse called Fearnought, is still in the Hands of Mr William Garthside, of Rigsby, near Alford in Lincolnshire; and by the Desire of Numbers of Gentlemen in the South, Covers this Season at Mr Abraham Wallett’s of Long-Sutton in the said County, at One Guinea a Mare, and One Shilling the Man. He was got by Doctor, whose Sire was the Duke of Rutland’s Cyprus, out of a Commoner Mare. His Dam was got by Oyster Foot, who was Son of the famous Merlin belonging to the late Duke of Ancaster, and out of a Leister Mare that was Sister to his Grace’s Black Legs, who broke his Leg when running against Fox at Lowes. He has also a Colt which comes four Years old, a Red Roan, got by Fearnought, and out of a Mare got by Mr Lister’s Ball, who was got by Mr Hall’s Arabian. He is full Fifteen hands high, and able to carry Eighteen stone, free from all Blemishes, and without dispute is as fine Horse as ever was bred in England, both for Shape and Action. He Covers at Rigsby near Alford this Season, at one Guinea the Mare, and One shilling the Man. N B Proper Joyce at both Places for Mares which come to stay".
The Stamford Mercury, Thursday, May 23, 1728, says - "This is to give Notice, That the Chesnut Horse calle'd Doctor, which was Mr Panton's, is now kept at the Warren Lodge in Grimsthorpe Park, and leaps for half a Guinea a Leap and Tryal. N B His Sire an Arabian, his Dam a Daughter of Old Commoner, out of a Makeless Mare [Chesnut Thornton], whose Dam was a Daughter of Brimmer [Old Thornton], out of a Mare got by Dicky Pearson, Son of Old Dodsworth's Barb, out of a Burton Barb Mare, as is certified under the Hand of the Breeder".
The entry for Wright's Farmers' Glory S1396 in the Suffolk Stud Book, volume 1, page 390, says he was foaled about 1796 and was known as the Attleborough Farmers' Glory. It also says he was a full size horse, and from the description of those who knew him was probably a half-bred Suffolk. This was probably Farmer's Glory Y736 C393, own brother to West's Useful Y893+894 C332. West's Useful Y893+894 C332 was probably Jenkinson's Useful Cub who was described as by a black cart horse, resembling the Suffolk breed, out of a chapman's mare.
According to the Suffolk Stud Book Winter's Stormer S1329 was a Trotting Horse by the Thoroughbred Gooch's Stormer, own brother to Thunderbolt. The only Stormer in the GSB was foaled in 1774 by Goldfinder. Knight's Stormer H806 was foaled in 1803 by Gooch's Stormer. This Gooch's Stormer is not identified as a Thoroughbred in the Hackney Stud Book and would seem more likely to have been a son of the Stormer by Goldfinder, who would have been 28 when the dam of Knight's Stormer H806 was covered. It is possible that Winter's Stormer S1329 was also known as Gooch's Stormer.

Some French Trotters trace back in the male line to Rysdyk's Hambletonian through The Great McKinney and Sam Williams. The stallions Quiproquo II (1938) and Quiroga II (1938), both fraudulently registered as by Gael (1928) by Intermede (1908) by Bemecourt (1901) by Fuschia, were in fact by Calumet Delco. As there are no officially registered foals by Calumet Delco in the Stud Book du Trotteur Francais his line doesn't officially exist, however its existence is commonly accepted in France where the leading trotting magazine, Trot Information, refers to this line as "Lignee Calumet Delco".

All Orlov Trotters trace back in the male line to the Arabian stallion Smetanka.
The three breeds of trotter in Russia are the Orlov Trotter, the Standardbred Trotter and the Russian Trotter. Any horse not Orlov or Standardbred is by definition a Russian Trotter. An Orlov Trotter may carry the blood of other breeds up to a maximum of 12.5%, so it is therefore possible for an Orlov Trotter to trace back in the male line to a stallion other than Smetanka. All Russian Trotters carry less than 87.5% Orlov blood and most trace back in the male line to Rysdyk's Hambletonian. Russian Trotters that descend from Smetanka include Burlak (1901), Koldun (1929) and Talantlivyi (1932). The Orlov Trotter Pilot (1932) was by the Russian Trotter Giatsint (1925) by the Russian Trotter Burlak (1901) by the Orlov Trotter Bystrolet (1893).
Registration numbers, which were introduced at the start of the twentieth century, are used to identify the breeds. Orlov Trotters have numbers beginning 1 through 9 while Standardbred Trotters and Russian Trotters have numbers beginning 0.

All Morgan Horses trace back in the male line to Justin Morgan. This horse was first called Figure and his sire was John and Justin Morgan's stallion called True Briton, a stallion said by John and Justin Morgan to have been stolen from Captain James Delancey in 1780. Captain James Delancey had been given the horse by his uncle Colonel James Delancey when he sold his holdings and returned to England. Captain James Delancey's nephew Edward Delancey stated that the horse stolen from his uncle in 1780 had been imported. Colonel James Delancey had only imported two stallions. Wildair, who was sent back to England in 1773 and Lath, who was stated by Frank Forrester in American Horses and Horsemanship in 1857 to be the Morgan Horse.
The foundation sires of the American Saddle Horse are Denmark (1839) and Harrison Chief (1872). Crigler's Denmark (1872), who was originally registered as by Washington Denmark by Gaine's Denmark, is now accepted as being by Lail's Denmark Chief by Gaine's Denmark.
