Intro
Also called Suomalainen puoliverihevonen, the Finnish Warmblood breeding association was founded in 1926 with the intention of breeding a warmblooded riding horse that could be used for both sport and military service. The goal was an elegant, modern horse with good balance, athletic movement and solid character.
Origins
After their calvary needs were finished, demand for them declined, as did their numbers. Todays Finnish warmblood, like most European warmbloods is used primarily for sporting purposes.
In 2017 the breeders association became the Finnish Warmblood Association. This association accepts animals with one Finnish Warmblood parent, the other must be a proven European type warmblood, Anglo-Arabian or Thoroughbred.
