  Hackney (horse) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hackney Horse is a recognized breed that was developed in Great Britain.
The breed takes its name from the Hackney area of London, England (the uncapitalized term, "hackney" is a more general designation for horses used for ordinary driving or riding).
The offspring were the basis for the Hackney, and by 1833, the Hackney Horse Society was formed in Norwich and had opened its studbook.

The development of the Hackney breed matched, stride for stride, the improvement in both the quality of life and the use of public roadways in Britain.
As noblemen were busying themselves with fox-hunters and Thoroughbred race horses, the wealthy farmers took to the roads to show off the tangible fruits of their labors.
The Hackney was the ultimate driving machine of the 1880s both in America and in Britain.
