About the Swedish Breed
.Besides the native pony type, there is in
Sweden a general utility type of horse, the result of crosses
between the local ‘cold-blooded’ horses of the north
and west of Europe and the ‘warm-blooded’ animals
from the East, the latter blood not direct but through various
European breeds. These in recent times have been mainly Anglo-Norman
and Trakehner stallions, which have introduced Thoroughbred
strains into the native stock and brought about a considerable
improvement in the breed.
The resulting type is a compromise between ride and draught,
the army demanding remounts more and more Thoroughbred in character
and agriculture requiring heavier and stronger animals for farm
work. In general this type is a ‘warm-blooded’ horse,
strong, compact, with short clean legs and a good temperament,
useful for both saddle and draught.
In Northern Sweden there is a special type of draught horse,
known as the North Swedish Horse. Earlier attempts to establish
the breed had failed, but in 1900 an association was formed
with the object of creating the North Swedish Horse. The method
was a steady grading-up of the existing local stock by crosses
to Gudbrandsdals from Norway, and proved successful. In 1944
there were 400 stallions in service to about 15,000 mares a
year, producing some 8,000 pure North Swedish horses annually.
By then the importation of Gudbrandsdal had practically stopped,
but the Oldenburg was being imported in increasing numbers.
The North Swedish Horse is eminently suited to light-draught
agricultural work in Northern Sweden.
The most popular heavy-draught horse in Sweden is the Swedish
Ardennes, comprising more than 60% of the country’s horse
stock. The Ardennes were first introduced from Belgium in 1837
before they had been crossed with the heavier Brabancon. In
1901 a Studbook was opened for the breed, and since 1924 the
Breeding Association for the Swedish Ardennes Horse has kept
pedigrees and registered all foals.
In 1950 a horse census in Sweden showed the number of horses
of all ages to be 439,760. Of these about 16,000 were ‘warm-blood’
horses, 138,000 ‘cold-blood’ light-draught and 286,000
‘cold-blood’ heavy-draught.
