February 2007

I'm sorry, I had not realized that there was an article about the Orlov Trotter, because in the WikiProject about horse breeds it said it had not been written. So I wrote one. The difference between the two articles is the title. One capitalized the word "Trotter" and one didn't. So, as a result of that, it was thought that the article about the Orlov Trotter was not written. The Spotted Swans 14:33, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Easy mistake to make. Agree, lets merge them. Eventer 23:20, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merging, the other article is actually much more extensive, though it needs some work (I corrected the bit that said Orlovs were born gray and turned white! =:-O But this capitalization is more correct. Eventer, can you clean up the categories and make sure this is in the List of horse breeds?Montanabw 05:14, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
