The list below provides the names of Japanese sites that can and cannot be used as a source. If you want to request a source as reliable, submit your question for consensus. The same method if you want to question the reliability of a source.

Considered Unreliable
This list does not encompass all unreliable sites. All personal and fan blogs are unreliable unless specifically stated otherwise. Japanese Wikipedia - good for finding _references_ in reliable sources, many articles lack them.

Japanese Draft Horse
Japanese Draft Horse (Nihon Bankei Shu, 日本輓系種) is a designated crossbred created by crossing purebred and halfbred horsestogether for five consecutive generations. (Horses that don't meet this requirement have been registered since 2003 as "半血種".) Eight draft breeds have been listed as eligible for breeding program: Ardennes, Clydesdale, Shire, Brabançon, Breton, Boulonnais, Belgian and Percheron. (This isn't directly comparable to breeding stock available - as 2015, purebred stallions in stud are Bretons and Percherons, while data regarding new registrations of broodmares from 2014 indicates that from purebreds, three are majority: Bretons, Percherons and Belgians.)

Japanese Drafts are used mainly in ban'ei and meat production. The ideal horse has draft phenotype and "hybrid vigour".

Breed doesn't have any colour or marking specifications. Colours of bay, chestnut, flaxen chestnut, black, gray and variety of roans have been recorded since they also exist in purebreds. In extreme cases horse may have multiple facial markings and all legs marked with white.

Use of halfbreds has led to pinto pattern - one female family used in ban'ei can be traced to single stallion born in 1967, while dominant white seen in two horses was spontaneous, manifesting itself at 2010.


 * Japanese Draft (日本輓系種)
 * Japanese Sports Horse (日本スポーツホース種) - Equestrianism, general riding
 * Japanese Riding Horse (日本乗系種) - Equestrianism, general riding
 * Japanese Pony (日本ポニー種) - General riding
 * Japanese Miniature Horse (日本ミニチュアホース) Pet

Current names were established at 2003 and general breed classification "乗系種"(riding horse) was split to two different ones - Sports Horse and "normal" riding horse.

There is also sixth definition, heavy crossbred(輓交種), that was created at 2007 solely for aid of determining foal's registering.
