Hessian - Hesse Warmblood Horse
Although less known than Hanoverian, Holstein or Trakehner, the Hessian belongs to the "first class" of German warmblood breeds. In earlier times the heavier type was preferred, but today the Hessian warmblood became lighter. Apart from Hanoverian stallions also Trakehner stallions are used, which results in the common modern sport horse type. The state of Hessen is, as Westphalia and Hanover, a "horse country" and has a very large number of broodmares. Exterior: Like the Hanoverian a warmblood breed which can carry all kinds of riders, from lightweight to heavyweight. An elegant horse with much temperament, used for "big sport" as well as for the pleasure rider. A Hessian horse was in 1974 winner of the difficult jumping derby at Klein-Flottbek: "Kosmos" ridden by Hartwig Steenken.

The Brandenburger Horses
In 1787 the still existing stud at Neustadt on the Dosse was founded. The breed was intended to be a multi-purpose warmblood horse, heavy enough for all farming uses and light enough as carriage horse. After the second world war the breed was re-built based on Hanoverian and Trakehner stallions, the breed is not longer aiming for a heavy warmblood horse but for the sport horse type nowadays desired everywhere. Exterior: Medium sized head, well set neck of medium length, straight and strong back, well-muscled, rather long croup. Strong legs. Size: Around 165 cm Usage: Riding and driving horse with quiet temper Colour: Mainly bay |
Rheinlaender / Rhenanian Warmblood Horses
The Rhineland, neighbouring region to Westphalia, was formerly Germany's leading draft horse breeding region. After the decline of the draft horse breeding the region started breeding warmblood horses, based on Trakehner, Hanoverian and Westphalian bloodlines. The Rhineland breeding is closely connected to the Westphalian breeding activities. The state stallions of the Westphalian state stud at Warendorf had a large influence on the development of the Rhineland warmblood, which wears a brand of its own, however |
Wuerttemberger Sport Horses
The history of the Wuerttemberger dates back to the 16th century, when local mares of different types were crossed with Arab stallions. Later also Trakehner, Normandy, Oldenburg and Nonius stallions were involved, creating a useful and easy keeping multi-purpose horse for the agriculture in the Wuerttemberg region. The breed registry was founded in 1895, after the breed had stabilised, mainly influenced by the Anglo-Normandy-stallion "Faust", born 1886. With the help of Trakehner stallions the breed changed after world war II to a noble, medium sized (average 163 cm) powerful type.
