Australian Warmblood horse

Country Of Origin Australia
History and Background A breed in its infant stages, the Australian Warmblood is a sport horse bred to meet the high standards of many of their European counterparts.
The Australian Warmblood Horse Association (AWHA) was founded in the early 1970’s and began its existence as the German Warmblood Horse Association. This was all based around an imported grey Holsteiner stallion.
In 1985 the AWHA adopted uniform breeding guideline's, based closely on European practices but adapted for Australian conditions.
The Australian Warmblood is bred to maintain a strong line of all around sport horses, not to maintain any specific bloodlines. Because of this animals of many different warmblood breeds can be registered based on their ability rather than specific confirmation traits.
