[[File: Dot Horse Logo.png|150px|right]]'''[[.horse]]''' is a delegated [[Community gTLD]] from ICANN's 2012 [[New gTLD Program]] for the horse industry. The proposed application succeeded and was delegated to the Root Zone on March 31, 2014. The intended use of .horse is for equine industry professionals, including trainers, instructors, breeders, facility managers, bloggers, and horse enthusiasts.

A '''[[Registry]]''' is the database of all domain names registered under a certain [[TLD]]. A '''Registry Operator''', also known as a '''Network Information Center (NIC)''', refers to person(s) or entity(ies) responsible for providing registry services. These services include customer database administration, zone file publication, [[DNS]] and [[DNSSEC]] operation, marketing and policy determination. A Registry may outsource some, all, or none of these services. Different registries exist for different [[TLD]]s.
