The
Hungarian Warmblood |
The Hungarian Warmblood or Hungarian Sport Horse
as it is also known was developed at the Mezöhegyes State Stud in Hungary.
Through selective crossing of native Hungarian breeds: Kisbér
Félvér, Gidrán, Furioso-North Star, and Nonius to
established warmblood breeds such as the Holsteiner, Hannoverian and Dutch Warm
blood. The Stud was able to produce a warmblood breed capable of all modern
equestrian sports.
Some of the more famous international competitors include:
Virtual Village Randi: ridden by John Whitaker has had wins in
major Grand Prixs at Göttenburg, Valkensward, Dublin, Monterrey, and
Paris.
Heritage Poker: ridden by Marcus Beerbaum and Kemal
have both competed in the Volvo World Cup Championships and the Olympic Games.
Numerous Hungarian Warmbloods have competed in international driving events.
The result of crossing
native Hungarian breeds: Kisber Felver, Gidran, Furioso-North Star, and Nonius
to established warmblood breeds such as the Holsteiner, Hannoverian and Dutch
Warmblood. The goal to produce a top quality and highly competitive sport horse
was achieved.

The influence of the native
Hungarian breeds produced a horse lighter and more elegant than their heavier
warmblood predecessors. The Hungarian Warmblood is a very beautiful horse of
noble bearing with ground covering, animated action. A horse of exceptional
intelligence and disposition.

This is a splendid sport horse combining the
power, and flexibility of the warmblood, with the endurance, speed, stamina,
and heart of the native Hungarian breeds. The strong hindquarters and build
helped it to achieve international class in the Showjumping arena, while it's
ability to endure, proud carriage, and amenity to discipline have led to
success in both driving and dressage. Sizes 16.0-17.0 hands. All solid colors.
