The German Hanoverian Horse
The Hanoverian warmblood horse is a type of horse that actually comes from Germany. This is one of the horses that you are likely to see at a lot of Olympic games. This is because of the beauty of the horse, as well as the sheer power of them. However, you are also likely to see this horse at other very competitive English riding games. It is important to note that people who have been on Hanoverians during the Olympic games have won gold medals in all the Olympic competitions at some point in time. This just goes to show you that Hanoverian horses are pretty well rounded horses and are a sight to see in action. It is kind of funny to note that the Hanoverian breed was not first meant to be a warmblood. In fact, the Hanoverians were first used as carriage horses. This was due in part because of their power. Over time, they were bred with Thoroughbreds to make them a lot more agile. Then from there, they got used in a lot of competitions.
The Hanoverians are great horses. They are very beautiful, and they are graceful. Of course, the good news does not stop there when talking about Hanoverians. In fact, they are also very elegant and, of course, strong. Others have said that the horses also look a little bit more robust than other horses. Another reason why this horse is used in a lot of Olympic games is because of how much it loves people. It is very willing to be trained by people, and some even claim that the horse seems to like it. Most people agree that it is just because the horse is spending time with, what the horse thinks, is “his” people. The horse can come in a few different colors. However, like a lot of other horses, you can not have these horses with too much white on them or buckskin. Also, due to regulations, palomino and cremello horses are prohibited from being in these games. Not only that, but they are not even allowed to be registered as a Hanoverian horse.
The horse is about the size of a normal horse. They are about 15 hands high, but some can get as big as 17.5 hands high. Most horses that are registered turn out to be about 16 hands high, making it stand just a little bit above an average horse. Some say that this could give the horse a disadvantage at jumping games, but the power of the horse makes up for its big size. Either way, this is a great horse and one that you are going to want to own. If you have never seen one of these horses in action, then you be sure to watch the next Olympic games. You are sure to find one of these horses there. This is a horse that you are not going to want to miss. That is why this horse is so loved by so many people. It is just an overall great horse.
