Is a Hanoverian Horse Right for You?
|
The Hanoverian horse is a warm blooded equine from Germany. You will see this horse not only in Olympic games but also English equestrian competitions. This breed was originally used as a carriage puller. Then, the bloodline was crossed with Thoroughbred to give the horse a lighter body and more agility. This horse breed is thought to date back to the Middle Ages. The 18th century was a booming time for this breed, but demand waned after the first World War. After World War II, there was more demand for sport horses which led to a resurgence of this breed.
This breed of horse is adaptable, trainable, graceful and agile. They are strong and well-muscled without being bulky. The most common colors for this breed are chestnut, bay, gray, black and brown. You will not see a lot of white on these horses. These horses are about 16 hands. They are beautiful and intelligent, and make a great companion horse in addition to a work horse or show horse. If you want to breed this type of equine you will need to choose an appropriate sire and dam. You will find this breed is not as plentiful as more popular breeds.
Some breeders practice selective breeding while others simply breed the mares and stallions that are accessible. You may want to keep the breed pure, or crossbreed with other types of horses such as the American Quarter Horse or Arabian. As mentioned before, there are various uses for this breed that include pleasure riding, hunting, jumping, dressage and other equestrian events. If you are ready to jump into the world of breeding, there is much to learn. Although breeding seems like a natural process, which it is, there is work for the breeder to do as well. You need to make sure your dam is kept healthy and has no problems with delivery.
You can find lots of information about the Hanoverian horse on the Internet. You may also want to join an organization such as The American Hanoverian Society. On the topic of horse breeding, there are plenty of resources online as well as lots of books that can help you learn more about the subject.
