Origins
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 & military service. The goal was an elegant, modern horse with good balance, athletic movement & solid character.
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.
