History

The Kinsky Horse was bred in the nineteenth century by members of the Kinsky family in the Kingdom of Bohemia, and was sometimes known as the Golden Horse of Bohemia.[1]Template:R/superscript[2]Template:R/superscript In the twentieth century it was largely absorbed into the Czech Warmblood. A separate stud-book for the breed was established in 2005.[1]Template:R/superscript
