 | | The Cleveland Bay is the oldest British Breed of horse in the UK, dating back from Medieval times, and is sadly now the rarest breed in Britain, rating Critical on the Rare Breeds Survival list. |
 | | Cleveland Bays were admired as they still are for their strength and courage, they are quite able to carry excessive weights for long distances, and in the mid 18th Century were a valuable asset for use as pack-horses. |
 | | The Cleveland Bay is a genuine honest horse, they are loyal to their owners, and will remain deeply embedded in British Equine history, they breed true to form and pass on their qualities to their youngstock, I personally have never come across a bad Cleveland Bay, only bad handlers. |
