About the Danubian Breed .This is the third principal Bulgarian breed,
based on the Nonius breed of the G. Dimitrov Stud Farm. The
Danubian horses are of medium size, massive but compact, with
energetic movements. The average height is 15.2 hands.
The Danubian is a good performer for a medium heavy load, and
for equestrian events, especially jumping, and is used as foundation
stock for the improvement of the horse population in Northern
Bulgaria along the banks of the Danube river, and in the plains
of Southern Bulgaria.
Special measure have been taken for the development of these
horses over the past ten or 15 years. The foundation stock includes
at present 100 English Thoroughbred mares and 16 stallions,
mostly imported from Russia, Poland, Germany and Romania.
