Brandenburger Horse
Intro
The Brandenburger is a sub-population of the German saddle horse and bred to be an all-around under saddle mount.
Origins
Breeding began in 1787 with the hopes of creating a warmblood that was heavy enough to work and light enough to pull carriages. The foundation started with Oldenburg, English Halfbred, Asian horses and Thoroughbred bloodlines.
The Warmblood Breeding Society was created in 1922 in order to produce horses for farmers and agricultural work at which point Hanovarian blood was used to improve stock.
