 :::I'm sorry, but I'm not seeing in Selona's contributions where it says that d'Andrade took already captive horses to recreate a breed. Could you point out the specific section? As for your second point, d'Andrade did not ""create"" this breed. He renamed a wild herd of horses that the locals had known for centuries as ""zebro"" and worked to preserve them as the true wild herd was going extinct. This breed had been present in the areas for centuries before d'Andrade stumbled upon them and started working with them - they were just known by a different name (discussed in the naming section). They did not just spring up out of the ground in the 1920's when d'Andrade found them on a hunting trip, and d'Andrade did not ""create"" them, he preserved them!   "
