About the Mecklenburg Breed
.The prime object of German horse breeding
was to produce the type of horse that could serve first for
military purposes and in peacetime could be useful as a working
animal. Thus, besides a few breeds of ‘cold-blood’
horses like the Rhenish or one-time Mecklenburg, which during
wars served as heavy artillery horses, many ‘warm-blood’
breeds were artificially created, such as East Prussian, Hanoverian,
Holstein and others, which would answer all military requirements.
They represent the cavalry or light-draught type of horse, standing
from 125.2 to 16.3 hands, with good bone, being good weight
carriers with easy action.
Today, the Mecklenburg horse is a ‘warm-blood’ horse
got by ‘warm-blood’ stallions out of ‘warm-blood’
mares and bred by breeders organised as ‘The Association
of Mecklenburg Warm-blood Breeders’. The Mecklenburg horse
passed through several stages. Once a heavy type of horse, in
the middle of the 19th century it represented a good saddle-horse
which was, unfortunately, very much deteriorated by the introduction
and bad management of the English Thoroughbred. With its excellent
pastures, Mecklenburg was used not only as the breeding country
for ‘warm-blood’ horses, but also as a rearing ground
for the 3,000 or so Hanoverian foals which were taken there
each year.
Reviewing the position as described, it will be seen that the
Mecklenburg, like so many of the German breeds, has passed through
many stages as the result of endeavours made to improve the
breed by upgrading, coupled with the desire to effect a certain
standard or type. Like so many of the country’s equine
products, the Mecklenburg shows admirable substance and bone.
Since in the past the object has been to breed a general-purposes
horse, with a strong emphasis on one suitable for cavalry or
artillery, it is a matter for conjecture what future type will
be evolved by Germany in view of the almost complete mechanisation
of the Army. It may be that with such excellent pasturage the
country may concentrate on producing a riding-horse that, as
has been shown, would not be foreign to the Mecklenburg breed.
