Trakehner by BarbBarcikKeith
9×12 watercolor enhanced colored pencil on Arches “satin” finish paper. Part of a series. / Many consider the Trakehner to be Europe’s finest warmblood and the ideal competition horse. During World War II, 1,200 Trakehners, out of 25,000 registered in the East Prussian studbook, were trekked 900 miles across Europe to prevent them from falling into Soviet hands. Using this nucleus, German breeders have been able to preserve the breed. / It originated in the 13th century studs of the Teutonic Knights, in what used to be East Prussia. They used indigenous Schweiken ponies, descendants of the Tarpan, as a base. The Royal Trakehner Stud was founded by Friedrich Wilhelm I of Prussia in 1732, and aimed to produce active coach horses.

Cleveland Bay by BarbBarcikKeith
9×12 watercolor enhanced colored pencil / The Cleveland Bay is the oldest and purest of the indigenous British horse breeds and was used in the 18th and 19th centuries to upgrade many European breeds. In Britain, it has enjoyed royal patronage for over 200 years. The shortage of purebred mares has caused the Rare Breeds Trust to classify the Cleveland Bay situation as “critical”. / The breed evolved in the Middle Ages from the bay-colored Chapman horses of Cleveland in northern England.

The Horse by Britta Döll
This horse lives near my house and belongs to a dog trainer. We were on an educational walk with our young dog. She has to get used to the sight, sound and smell of various kinds of animals – in this case horses and pigs. BTW: Our dog did very well. For the image: I took this shot in bright sun in the afternoon. The sky came out bright white. The horse was held with a bright blue rope, people were to be seen in the background. / Now I think you can imagine what I did in pp. I cropped away a lot of the image, cloned out the people and the rope, adjusted contrasts, brightness, shadows and sharpness. And I desaturated the background around 50%. I hope you like it.

The definition of Warmblood
Warmblood does not specify a certain blood temperature, but the average temper of light to medium heavy riding and cart horse breeds. These breeds originate in crosses of Thoroughbred horses with rural or draft horses or from mixtures of different warmblood breeds. After some time these crosses have stabilised their appearance into distinct breeds. As they originate from different lines with different purposes, the appearance of the warmblood breeds lies between the extremes Thoroughbred and draft horse. Thus, all breeds which are not definitely Thoroughbred, Draft or pony are classified as warmblood. However, this applies only in Germany. International practice defines crosses and mixtures as “part-bred” or “half-bred”.
The warm blooded breeds were created when warriors returned to Europe from the Middle East and Africa with hot blooded Arabian horses captured in battle.
Breeding the large, heavy war horses of northern Europe with the lighter, faster and fiery tempered hot bloods from the Mongolian steppes created horse breeds that combine the quickness and agility of race horses with the larger build and milder temperament of cold bloods. Over time, the draft horses of Europe were increasingly bred with hot blooded imports, creating the forerunners of dozens of breeds in existence today. Warmbloods have smaller heads and bodies than draft horses and tend to be less excitable than hot blooded horses, making them good all-round horses for riding and light work. Warm blooded horses are popular in Olympic sporting events such as dressage, and many European breeders are breeding warmbloods for competition. The Hanoverian is one currently breed popular for eventing. Warm-blooded horses are also considered perfect for riding, and in America, the West was won on the backs of warmblood breeds. Considered perfect for roping, cutting and herding, the fortunes of cattle owners increased by the warm bloods and the cowboys who rode them, pushing thousands of head of cattle to the rapidly populating and hungry Western city centers. Most popular American breeds—the Quarter horse, the Tennessee Walking horse and the Palomino—are all examples of excellent horses derived from the original breeding of draft horses and Arabians (however, they are NOT considered to be warmbloods in the true sense of the modern breed).
The Oldenburg, developed from the crossings of Friesians, Hannoverians, Normans, Cleveland Bays and Thoroughbreds was at one point Germany’s most popular coach horse. Early in the twentieth Century as the market for coach horses collapsed, the Oldenburgs were more regularly used as a versatile agricultural horse, a role they remained in until the Second World War. After the war breeders made a focused effort to lighten Oldenburgs. In the 1970’s recognition of the exceptional qualities of the breed redoubled the breeders efforts to lighten the line. The new stallions such as Kronprinz XX (1960) by Nizam, Furioso II (1965) by Furioso XX, Inschallah X (1968) by Israel, Ultraschall (1978) by Ultra Son and Tiro (1972) by Tremolo all gained great notoriety. Since the complete reworking of type and quality, Oldenburgs are now recognized as one of the most successful breeds in Germany and North America.. It’s young stock are sought after as competition horses and breeding stock. worldwide.
