About Swedish Warmblood HorsesAbout Swedish Warmblood Horses





Swedish Warmblood horses were developed at Stromsholm and Flyinge. They are descended from imported stock in the 17th century from Denmark, Germany, England, Hungary, France, Russia, Spain, and Turkey. These horses were extraordinarily varied, but along the way became the Swedish Warmblood.

The decade from 1920 to 1930 was an important decade in the development of the breed. The three most noticeable influences on the breed were Tribun, Hamlet, and Thoroughbred Hamplemann, all Hanoverians Schwabliso. After 1945, the Trakehners Heristal, Heinfried, Anno, and Polarstern had a dominant effect upon the breed. Heristal was a descendant of the great English racehorse Hyperion. He produced 15 stallions and 44 mares that were entered in the studbook.  

Swedish Warmblood horses have easy, staight paces. They also are handsome, sound, tractable, and definitely versatile. They are used for pleasure riding, dressage, jumping, and eventing. Swedish Warmbloods are very good driving horses, also, and are exported in large amounts all over Europe and the U.S.
