The Dutch Warmblood....
Its native to the Nether lands but is now found world wide. Its size ranges from 15.2hh - 16.2hh
The Dutch warmblood is the result of selectively breeding Dutch stock with English, French and German horses. The program was initiated in the 1969's. In the 1800 coaching and coach horses reached a peak. Horses from the British isles including the Norfolk Trotter, the Yorkshire horse, the Cleveland and the hackney were exported to Europe to cross with the local breeds. The resulting cross had to be able to pull a Plough yet look elegant between the shafts of carriage and whilst being ridden. This was the beginning of the modern sport Horse.
The Dutch warmblood has over recent years had a remarkable rise in the Internacional Equestrian World. This superb modern horse is Eager, Reliable, Intelligent and suitable for any discipline.
