Rheinlaender
Rhenanian Warmblood
The Rhineland, neighbouring region to Westphalia,
was formerly Germany's leading draft horse breeding region. After the decline
of the draft horse breeding the region started breeding warmblood horses, based
on Trakehner, Hanoverian and Westphalian bloodlines. The Rhineland breeding is
closely connected to the Westphalian breeding activities.
The state stallions of the Westphalian state stud
at Warendorf had a large influence on the development of the Rhineland
warmblood, which wears a brand of its own, however.
