| - The Abaco Barb is a wild horse that is extremely rare and needs to be tamed from birth before it can be properly trained. This can be a long and difficult process, but when you're done it can reward you with a ton of diamonds up until 80 years old. If you're one of the quickest to tame it, the horse will have a high genetic potential and the chance to be numbered. File:2d8664630136afdaa43c8986777fceb0.png
- Beginning in the 1960s, several events led to a decline of the breed, including the paving of new roads through or near their territory, which caused more conflict with humans; dogs brought in to chase boars going after horses instead, resulting in hunters shooting horses, and wild dogs killing foals. An Abaco Barb stallion, Capella, was the model for a 2005 Breyer horse sculpture honoring the breed, as part of a broad-based publicity campaign to build support for preservation.

| - Beginning in the 1960s, several events led to a decline of the breed, including the paving of new roads through or near their territory, which caused more conflict with humans; dogs brought in to chase boars going after horses instead, resulting in hunters shooting horses, and wild dogs killing foals. Some Abaconians intervened and brought the three surviving horses to a farm near Treasure Cay. The herd increased to 35. Since 1992, however, over half the horses have died. No foals have been born since 1998. (There was one spontaneous abortion and one fetus aborted for unknown reasons.) By early 2010, the herd had diminished to six. As of August 2013, only one horse remained: one mare living inside the preserve. In February 2014, it was announced eggs would be harvested from mare. An Abaco Barb stallion, Capella, was the model for a 2005 Breyer horse sculpture honoring the breed, as part of a broad-based publicity campaign to build support for preservation.
