Holstein
Being a
horse similar to the Hanoverian, only a bit heavier, the Holstein breed can be
traced back to the medieval war-horses of the 14th century. By crossing in
Spanish and Arabian blood the breed became lighter. Since the 19th century the
Holstein carries more English half-bred and thoroughbred blood, which made him a
good multi-purpose horse with success in international sports. To keep the
warmblood type, no more Thoroughbred blood may be crossed in any more. The
Holsteiner is bred primarily in the surrounding of the city of Elmshorn in the
Holstein region. With an average height of 160 to 170 cm the Holstein is heavily
built, with good shoulders and a compact, rounded body, large barrel and a heavy
croup. The legs are short and heavily boned.

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

horse with much temperament, used for "big sport" as well as for the pleasure
