About the Anglo-Norman Breed
.In the origin of this breed we find as the
foundation, a Norman horse which was a powerful and enduring
animal, and very much appreciated in those times as a war horse.
William the Conqueror is said to have brought to England a large
number of these horses, which did much good in improving the
English native horse.
In later times the Norman horse deteriorated by careless crossing
with the Danish and Mecklenburg carthorse, and since 1775 Arabs
and English thoroughbreds and half-breds were used. Between
1834-60 a large admixture of Norfolk trotter blood gave origin
to the Anglo-Norman trotter, which was chiefly bred in the district
of Morleraut (Dept. of Orne). The soil of this district is rich
in lime and iron, and in addition to this, qualities of water
and climate favour the breeding of an excellent horse with good
bone and strong muscles. Anglo-Norman trotters are very hardy
and enduring and have a very good reputation.
Besides this group of trotters, there are two main types of
Anglo-Norman: first, the draught type, standing from 15.2 to
17 hands with a strong admixture of Percheron and later of Boulonnais
blood, usually grey, but sometimes bay, chestnut or black. The
horse was used as a mail-cart horse, thanks to a capacity for
pulling a heavy load at a good pace. Secondly, there is the
cavalry type, which was much used in the army and for sport.
Although some of them are excellent horses there are many of
them which do not answer military requirements and are an unhappy
combination of two breeds. Being “well-topped”,
their hocks and bone below the knees are deficient, sometimes
consisting of inharmonious pieces inherited from the Norman,
others from the English Thoroughbred. Good ones, however, make
really excellent horses for sport and the now restricted military
service. In any event they make good horses for general use.
While the heavier type was bred in the region of Mortagne, Anglo-Norman
saddle horses were bred on a large scale around Caen.
This breed, like the other half-breds raised in France, is nowadays
known in that country under the name of Cheval de Selle Francais.
