About the Schleswig Breed .This horse is bred in the western part of
the Schleswig Province. In the Middle Ages it was much appreciated,
as well as the Friesian, as a saddle horse to carry heavy armoured
knights. Since that time its breeding has been well patronised
by German rulers. At the end of the 19th century the Schleswig
Horse Breeders Association was organised to control its breeding
and produce a type of horse which could be useful as both an
artillery horse and a heavy carthorse. Schleswig Province belonged
at one time to Denmark, and since that time one may often find
a dash of blood of heavy Danish horse in the Schleswig.
