Sweden is the home of the Swedish Warmblood, a popular competition horse. Like many of the warmblood breeds they were initially developed as calvary mounts.
The domesticated horses of Sweden were smaller than other countries, but as years passed, the smaller animals were crossed with more robust breeds to develop a larger animal.
More recently the breed has become more and more refined as a show and competition horse.
