I always think it must be a difficult thing to paint an historical breed of horse, even more so to find a modern version of an historical breed. The Thessalian horses, considered the best in Greece, were no match for the Persian horses raced against them by Xerxes.
Gratius Faliscus (Cynegetica) described Thracian horses as "easy keepers and excellent performers but with ugly necks and thin spine curvng along their backs".
Not much to go on.
