The Czech Warmblood, Template:Langx, is a modern Czech breed of warmblood sport horse.Template:R
History
The Czech Warmblood was selectively bred from the mid-twentieth century by cross-breeding local mares with stallions of various breeds; these may have included Oriental and Spanish horses, and others of the Furioso, the Hanoverian, the Oldenburger, the Thoroughbred and the Trakehner breeds.Template:R
It is the most numerous breed of horse in the Czech Republic.Template:R In 2021 the population was reported as about Script error: No such module "val".; the conservation status of the breed was listed as 'not at risk'.Template:R
Two other warmblood breeds of the area are at least partly assimilated into the Czech Warmblood population: the Moravian Warmblood or Script error: No such module "Lang".; and the Kinsky or Script error: No such module "Lang"., formerly known as the Golden Horse of Bohemia. Separate stud-books for these were established in 2004 and 2005 respectively.Template:R
Characteristics
The Czech Warmblood is a robust, powerful horse bred with strong bones. The breed has a strong neck on an elegant body, a broad, long back, and good hooves, though they are sometimes flat. The mane and tail are very thick.
The Czech Warmblood is a relatively long-lived, unpretentious and relentless horse. The breed is willing and teachable with a very good temperament. Most are black, chestnut, bay or dark bay.
The stud farm in Kladruby plays a major role in the breeding of the Czech Warmblood. In the pedigree book, many other breeds are mentioned, for example Thoroughbred, Selle Français, Arabian and Anglo-Arabian.
Use
The horses are used principally in show-jumping and in dressage; they are also suitable for recreational riding.Template:R
