Use and Characteristics of the Danish Warmblood

Danish Warmbloods are tall horses, standing between 15.3 hands (63 inches/160 cm) and 17 hands (68 inches/173 cm) high. Their compact shape, with long shoulders and well-defined withers, ensures good saddle fit and comfort for both horse and rider. Necks are long and muscular with handsome and well-set heads. Equestrians buy a Danish Warmblood for their excellent temperaments and courageousness in competition. Coats can be any solid colour, though dark colours such as black, dark brown and bay tend to predominate, along with chestnut. Breeders who sell a Danish Warmblood stallion for breeding must ensure that the horse has participated in a "100 day test" for rideability and competitive performance.
