What is a Warmblood?

The Warmblood species are categorised into a group of middle-weight horse types and breeds primarily originated in Europe. They usually weigh an amount of 650kg give or take, and can be as tall as 16.2hh or more. To become a breeding horse , mares must stand taller than 15.2hh and stallions at least 15.3hh at the withers. Breeding large, heavy war horses together with the lighter and faster ones, combine a great combination of an agile, speedy, good temperamental all-round horse. Warmbloods are popularly used for racing, eventing, and Olympic Standard riding.

Horse breed list

Here is a list of allowed horse breeds. If you registered a horse and it's breed is not on here, it's probably the reason why the form has not been accepted. If you have your own horse breed you will be allowed to mention that on the form (Because it's your own breed, you are allowed to choose whether it is a Warmblood or not). Crosses are welcome, as long as they have a Warmblood horse of each parent.

A warmblood association, great idea !
I'm really not sure if we can consider Amercian Saddlebred, Lipizzaner, Morgan, Quarter Horse and Tennesse Walking Horse as warmblood breed ?
For the knabstruper we can precise the sport type (there's also a classic more baroque and a pony version).

[henriettarosemoore]

Thank you! Yes I knew someone would comment about this.

I did some research about Warmbloods and the Amercian Saddlebred, Lipizzaner, and Tennesse Walking Horse count as 'light' horses as they were bred from 'heavy' horses + hot blood horses. I thought that even though they might not count as a Warmblood I wondered whether to add them onto the list anyway. Anyway I did some more research and removed some breeds, if you're certain that they don't count I'll remove them as I am not sure myself and I don't want to give anybody false facts

[SilverMonocerosStables]

Lipizzaner is a baroque breed.
Tennessee Walkers are considered more of a Gaited type than Warmblood.
As it was already said, Knabstruppers should be specified as Sporthorse type

[karifmormin]

I know there's not a lot out there - but Kinsky Horses and Argentine Warmbloods I'd potentially like to see be added if possible?

[henriettarosemoore]

Ah thank you, understood. @karifmormin I'll add them right away!

[SilverMonocerosStables]

There also are some other breeds you could add
- Alt-Oldenburger/East-Friesian (heavy Warmblood)
- German Sporthorse (created by joining Brendenburg, Saxon, Saxon-Anhalt, and Saxon-Thuringian studbooks in 2003)
- German Wamblood (registered with ZfDP)
- Mecklenburger
- Polish Halfbred
- Senner (extremely rare)
- Silesian (heavy Warmblood, although there's a new, lighter type)
- Swedish Warmblood
- Wielkopolski
- Wurttemberger
- Zweibrucker

P.S. It's spelled Hanoverian

[alastairschrodinger]

Per the American Saddlebred and Morgan, both of these breeds have been dual registered as American Warmblood irl and are allowed as out crosses to the American Warmblood. American Saddlebred is also allowed to cross with a subsection of Dutch Warmblood to make the harness (Tp) strain.

I'm not really arguing either way. Other communities have separated them as well. Just wanted to point out that for these two breeds, a crossover that can cause confusion does exist.

[SilverMonocerosStables]

American Saddlebred is also allowed to cross with a subsection of Dutch Warmblood to make the harness (Tp) strain.

As far as I know, Tuigpaard/Dutch Harness Horse is a separate breed, not a strain of Dutch Warmblood. KWPN is a studbook for three breeds: Dutch Warmblood (registered in two sections, jumpers and dressage horses are registerd separately), Dutch Harness Horse, and Gelderlander (the ancestor of the former).

[alastairschrodinger]

I'm not sure what you mean. It seems you said the same thing as me. Perhaps it was my misuse of "Dutch Warmblood" term as if equivocally interchangeable with "KWPN" (as is colloquial alternative where I am from). A technicality on terminology All three (or four if you count show jumping and dressage separately) are warmbloods governed by the same book.

[SilverMonocerosStables]

Yes, but all three are separate breeds, that just share one studbook It's common to use KWPN interchangeably with Dutch Warmblood, but KWPN term has wider meaning (I hope I worded that understandably! :P)
Just as Hackney and Hackney Pony - two breeds, but share one studbook.

EDIT: What about Anglo-Arabian type breeds? Not the straight cross, but breeds that heavily base on Anglo-Arabian bloodlines (with addition of Warmblood ones)? Do we count them in as Warmbloods?

[karifmormin]

Just um my tuppence here, but surely it's up to the club host as to exactly what they include and how realistic or not something is? Also aren't lipanzzers (sp) used for crossing to make the Iberian Warmblood?

[henriettarosemoore]

I'll add them as soon as I can, and also when I realized that auto changed it to an 'e' I corrected it yesterday

[Rivet]

A warmblood association that's look great

[henriettarosemoore]

Thank you! Feel free to register once the forms are up!

[Rivet]

Thanks but could you tell me where is registration on the site ?

[henriettarosemoore]

WBA Doesn't have a website, as all the activity has to be on the Equus-Sims forums. The registration isn't open yet, hopefully I can have the forms completed by this evening or tomorrow morning. So once they are ready you can sign up!

[wynlet]

Just an idea, but I don't think a table on here might be the most efficient way of listing registered horses.. people have a lot of warmbloods and they always tend to be the most popular 'breed', scrolling down a list of 400 horses might be a bit tedious

[henriettarosemoore]

Yes I do know that that might happen, I said that if it gets too large then I will list it somewhere else. c:

[amillard]

Has the registery list been moved to a proper place?
