Intro
Not an actual breed, the Hack Horse is essentially a type of Anglo-Arabian and the Park Hack or Small Hack is the smallest strain of the variety.
Origins
Bred specifically to be a saddle horse, Hacks are bred for presence and temperament under saddle. The Small Hack tends to have the most presence of the varieties, likely as they possess more Arabian characteristics. Often used as a training horse for younger riders.
