About the Rhenish Breed .The Rhenish horse comes from the Rhein Province
and represents a heavy-draught type of horse. It is a deep,
broad horse, very powerful, of good conformation and bone, with
quite good action for a heavy horse, and is easily fed. It stands
some 16 to 16.2 hands, and is most often sorrel coloured, then
sorrel roan and brown and sometimes brown roan. Mane and tail
are light. About 60 years ago the Germans founded the Rhenish
Studbook, and the sires which established the most successful
bloodlines are: ‘Lothar III’, ‘Albion d’Hor’
and ‘Indien de Biévene’.
This breed may be quoted as another example of a type being
developed to meet the requirements of a locality, for it does
not differ materially from many other heavy-draught horses.
It has a good reputation for character and service.
