The Belgian Warmblood was developed using Thoroughbreds, Anglo-Arabs and other proven European Warmbloods (Hanoverian, Holsteiner, Selle-Francais and Dutch.) These horses were bred to Belgian's best cavalry and light agricultural horses to create the Belgian Warmblood. This breed has gained recognition in show jumping and eventing and dressage. Once kept as Europe's little secret, today the Belgian Warmblood is sought out all over the world.
