Yes, these horses are indeed endangered. This is because as soon as motor vehicles were introduced to North East of England, there wasn't a need for carriage horses anymore. Most owner's sold their horses but some continued to keep the breed alive. Ever since the breed has struggled for a stable population. There are currently 500 Cleveland's left in England and even less scattered among The U.S. equine communities. Awareness is currently being promoted, and it is well anticipated by Cleveland Bay fans that they will be able to save a horse who has such a vibrant past.
