Exterior
Similar to the Hanoverian, the Hessian Warmblood ideally corresponds exactly to the image of the typical German riding horse . The torso and thus the overall physique are more rectangular than square. The head is straight. The long, well-formed neck ends in a pronounced withers . The back and the croup are relatively long, but strong and stable, with the croup gently sloping backwards.
interior
Well-developed, lively basic gaits and good jumping ability make the Hessian Warmblood a popular dressage and show jumping horse, which is also suitable for competitive sports. His character traits include sensitivity and intelligence. Furthermore, a very motivated but balanced temperament is attributed to him.
Breeding history
Until 2005, the Hessian warmblood was bred under the leadership of the Association of Hessian Horse Breeders , which emerged in 1972 from the Horse Breeding Associations Kurhessen-Waldeck and Hessen-Nassau. On July 1, 2005, the delegates' meeting of the Association of Hessian Horse Breeders decided to join the Hanoverian Association. As a result, the former Hessian Association operates under the new name Bezirksverband Hessen in the Hanoverian Association . Up until the year of birth in 2009, the Hanoverian Association had a separate section of the Hesse stud book with the previous Hessian brand. Since then, the former Hessian horse breeding as a district association has been completely part of the breeding of the Hanoverian horse.
