The Schleswig draft horse ( Danish : Slesvigsk Koldblod or Slesviger ) is a friendly draft horse from the Schleswig region (today northern Schleswig-Holstein and southern Denmark ). Today it is threatened with extinction and is on the red list of endangered domestic livestock breeds in Germany . In 1988 and 1996 it was declared "Endangered Livestock Breed of the Year" by the Society for the Preservation of Old and Endangered Domestic Animal Breeds (GEH).
Exterior
The Schleswig draft horse is a medium-sized cold blood horse with a friendly, lively look, strong neck, short, strong back, large, hard hooves and not too lush hangings. A slightly toe-tight position of the front legs and a slight overbuilding are typical of the breed.
interior
The Schleswig cold blood is a powerful and persistent workhorse, uncomplicated and calm to deal with; easy to feed and robust.
Breeding history
The breed is based on the Suffolk or Shire stallion "Oppenheim", who was born in the middle of the 19th century and imported from England in 1862. In the mid-1970s, the former population of 20,000 animals had shrunk to just 40 animals. Today the Schleswig Horse Breeders' Association takes care of the preservation of this breed. In Denmark, the Jutlander breed, which is closely related to the Schleswig cold blood, is kept, with which breeding animals are exchanged.
