About the Limousin (Half-bred) Breed
.Bred and raised at Cantal, Corréze,
Pery-de-Dome, Haute-Loire, Vienne, Haute-Vienne, Creuse and
Indre, the Limousin Half-bred, though lacking the quality, has
a great deal of the Anglo-Arab. He is the product of Limousin
mares already up-graded and qualified as half-breds and English
Thoroughbred, pure-bred Arab, Anglo-Arab or Anglo-Arab half-bred
studs. (A horse is qualified as a half-bred if he has a minimum
25% of Thoroughbred or Arab blood). After nearly half a century
of this, the breed is sufficiently fixed to perpetuate its traits
without further crossbreeding.
The oriental origins of the horses of Limousin date back to
the Moorish invasion of the 8th century. Under Napoleon I they
were deservedly reputed to be excellent saddle horses; but under
the Restoration the breed went into decline, until renewed alternate
crossing with English Thoroughbred and Arab finally gave it
uniformity.
Today’s Limousin Half-breds, of varying degrees of English
Thoroughbred and Arab blood, have a decidedly oriental character.
Certain groups have an Anglo-Norman admixture, thereby gaining
in size what they lose in quality. On the whole it is a good
riding and light-draught horse. Possessing all the lines of
the pure-bred Anglo-Arab and Anglo-Arab Half-bred, it is taller
(average 16 hands) and of more generous build. Greys are becoming
ever-more rare, with chestnut and bay predominating. This breed,
like the other half-breds raised in France, is nowadays known
in that country under the name of Cheval de Selle Francais.
