The Finnish Warmblood
breeding association was founded in 1926 with the intention of breeding a
warmblooded riding horse that could be used for both sport and military
service. The goal was an elegant, modern horse with good balance, athletic
movement and solid character.
After their calvary needs
were finished, demand for them declined, as did their numbers. Today’s Finnish
warmblood, like most European warmbloods is used primarily for sporting
purposes.
