Danish Horse Breed |
Danish Warmblood Horse BreedThe Danish Warmblood is the modern sporthorse breed of Denmark. Initially established in the mid-20th century, the breed was developed by crossing native Danish mares with elite stallions from established European bloodlines. The Dansk Varmblod registry was established in mid-20th century. The registry oversees the registration of Danish warmblood foals and approves stallions for breeding. As with most warmblood studbooks, only stallions who meet certain standards are permitted to breed. Foals with approved pedigrees may receive a brand depicting a crown over a wave. While still a young breed, Danish warmbloods are currently represented at international competitions in both dressage and show jumping. The Danish Warmblood is still an uncommon breed in the United States, however in 2001 a North American Danish Warmblood Association was formed to promote the breed in the U.S. The best Danish horses have a Thoroughbred outline that is combined with substance, strength, and good legs. They are courageous and spirited, have excellent temperaments, and good, free action. They are brillant dressage horses and make first-class performers in cross country. Danish horses also make great show jumpers, as well as under saddle. They can be all solid colors and stand anywere from 16.2 to 17 hands. The coat colors can be any solid color. The Danish Warmblood was founded on Frederiksborg stock, crossed with the Thoroughbred. The resultant local mares were bred to Anglo Norman {virtually Selle Francais} stallions, Thoroughbreds, and Trakehners. The mix was adjusted ised to produce a sound horse of excellent conformation, relatively fixed in type, and with scope and galloping adility. The Hanoverian influence is absent in the Danish Warmblood, which may account for its distinctive character compared to other warmbloods. |
