About the Danish Breed .The indigenous Danish horse was a small,
thick-set animal, which later on was crossed with Dutch, Spanish,
Turkish and English Thoroughbred blood. Thus were created Danish
breeds such as the Frederiksborg, the name of which was taken
from the place near Copenhagen, where a great Stud existed from
1562 to 1862. There was also the Jutland breed, which was a
strong carthorse very much resembling the Schleswig. The province
of Schleswig, which belonged to Denmark, was a great asset in
Danish horse-breeding before it was taken over by Prussia. In
some coast districts and on some of the islands there is still
seen a sturdy pony much resembling the ponies of Sweden and
Finland. To the same group belongs the Iceland Pony, which is
very active and hardy.
