hackney
Specifically, a breed of horses which combines thoroughbred blood with that of the English shire horse or cart-horse and also that of the native Irish horse. A hackney is a horse of moderate size, but over 14 hands, compact build, good action and good disposition, not so heavy as a coach-horse nor so ‘leggy’ as a hunter. The term is used in England much as roadster or driver is used in the United States, but includes horses for riding as well as for driving.
