The Aerie (Dutch Warmbloods)

Post by aersel »

The Aerie

Dutch Warmblood horses average about 16.2 hands with some reaching 17 hands. Coat colors are chestnut, bay, black or gray with white markings often on the face and legs. The head is well shaped, usually with a straight profile, and the neck is arched and well muscled, merging neatly into the withers, which are fairly prominent. The back is straight and fairly long, with the croup short, broad and flat. The tail is set high. The chest of this horse is deep and full and the shoulder is well sloped. The legs are strong with a long forearm. Hind quarters are powerful and highly muscled, a characteristic inherited from the original and powerful farm horses of the Netherlands and a feature necessary for strong movements.

Dutch Warmbloods are bred to perform in dressage and show jumping at the highest level. These horses are appealing modern horses, with great eagerness, reliability and intelligence.

Good luck! I'm also aiming towards the Dutch Warmbloods :) I've gotten to the Andalusians, Friesians and Exmoor ponies. Now i'm aiming at the next step with Galloways then i'll start working on thoroughbreds hopefully smooth sailing after that

Thank you, and good luck to you, too! I'm certainly taking my sweet time ;) hoping to diversify my bloodlines before I move much further up the breed "recipe."
