Their foundation was French native mares who were bred to imported English Thoroughbreds, along with a physically obvious sprinkle of Arabian Blood. This area of France long had a great reputation for breeding handsome & stylish saddle horses.
This breed is one of the most influential in creating the Selle Français.
