Wuerttemberger
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.

Rheinlaender / Rhenanian Warmblood
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.

Oldenburg
The Oldenburg is the heaviest German warmblood breed.
It was founded in the 17th century and was developed from the heavy Friesian
horse as strong cart horse. Initially Spanish and Arabian blood was crossed in,
and in the 19th century the breed was stabilised using Thoroughbred, Cleveland
Bay, Anglo-Normandy and Hanoverian stallions. As the demand for cart horses
decreased in the first half of this century, the breed changed over to a modern,
powerful riding and sport horse by adding more Thoroughbred blood.
