About the Zeeland Breed
.The prototype of the Zeeland horse, a product
of the Netherlands, goes back to the earliest times, and similar
types are found in Brabant and Limburg. In the days of the invasion
by Julius Caesar, the Romans in ‘the Low Lands on the
Sea’ came across a horse that was very strong and massive;
speaking of those fertile lands, so rich in pasture, the monk
Drogon de Bergues Saint Winnoq said ‘There is an island,
called Walcheren, which is very rich in foodstuffs and population,
where a breed of horses is found, big-sized and of remarkable
spirit and strength’. Thus the Zeeland horse became well
known at a very early date, and in the Middle Ages it was used
by adventurous knights in the wars they were waging, and was
exported to England, Germany and the western parts of France.
From that time onwards these horses have been in great demand;
in the Low Lands as draught horses; as horses of much use to
the farmer in cultivating the land; as animals that could be
equally useful in the army for horse artillery.
Since the beginning of last century this horse has been registered
in the Studbook for the Dutch draught-horse, The Hague, so that
each one has a number of its own. Breeders give the following
details of this type:
Snub-nosed head with straight-lined profile; slightly projecting
orbit; flat forehead; large, intelligent eyes; short ears, pointing
forward; wide, open nostrils; broad, deep chest; close to the
ground; very muscular loins, flanks wide apart; very muscular
rumps and legs; strong neck of moderate length; plenty of bone
with excellent feet and good carriage.
This combination, although sounding unwieldy, is in reality
one of some elegance, and on the whole this horse differs from
the Belgian by greater elegance and a more lively carriage,
while at the same time it is bigger than the horse from the
Ardennes. In this way people in Holland try to breed a horse,
which, though big and heavy, is supple in its movements. It
is claimed that the Zeeland Horse can bear cold and heat, possessing
great adaptability under all circumstances. In character it
is very suitable for work in the field, being quiet and possessed
of much stamina and strength, It is a horse full of spirit,
yet very easy to handle.
