Dust jacket notes: "'Halfblood, warm-blut, demi-sang' -- their blood measures the same temperature as other horses, but the European Warmbloods are the sport horse supreme. Horses of German, Dutch, French, and Scandinavian backgrounds have earned the top prizes in international competitions - Olympic medals and World and National championships. And since the 1970's, European Warmbloods have impacted upon the American equestrian industry, winning both show ring and cross-country events. Sophisticated equestrians have long appreciated how European breeders have developed the art and science of producing outstanding sport horses. For hundreds of years, they have aimed to solidify a type. They are able to achieve consistent, predictable results, and they maintain high standards through rigid selections of breeding stock. This book, written especially for the North American enthusiast, is the most complete work on warmbloods available. Based on information from European and American associations, and opinions of owners, breeders, and authorities on both sides of the Atlantic, this is a unique resource work for those involved with these marvelous horses."
