[edit] New horse breed template--need your help

I need your help if you know something about horses. I've create a new template for adding a standardized infobox to each horse listed in List of horse breeds. The template is shown here: Wikipedia:WikiProject Horse breeds and there's a sample with minimal information in American Paint Horse. The problem is that I don't really know what should or could go in the box. For example, for the Dog breeds template, we can identify specific major breed registry organizations. But for horses, is that true? And what else makes sense to go in the table--e.g., "type"? (Draft, pony,...what else?) Please respond at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Horse breeds. Thanks!

[edit] Adding "breeds" - Sanity, please!

Can we create a policy of putting in breeds with the correct article name and any other names in plain text after the link? Can we avoid using piped links and redirects?

Also, could anyone putting in a breed with a red link commit to putting up at least a stub on that breed within a week? We are getting a lot of "breeds" that are NOT breeds in here from somewhere...?

And, if it isn't too much to ask, can we keep the pony breeds in the pony section and the horse breeds in the horse section (see the way Welsh ponies and Welsh cobs are handled, this CAN be done with minimal controversy--if a breed wants to be a "horse" according to its registry, we'll call it a horse (for example, miniature horses...)
