The Georgian Grande is a relatively new breed and one native to North America. Emerging during the 1970’s in response to a need for bringing back larger, heavier breed of Saddlebreds.
\n<\/p>\n
As Saddlebred breeds continued to become more and more refined, the older, more robust type fell out of fashion. By combining the blood of Saddlebred animals with that of draft types, Mr. George Wagner created an impressive creature that pays testament to larger Saddlebreds of days past. Georgian Grande translates to George’s Great Horse. <\/p>\n
In 1994 the International Georgian Horse Registry was formed and since then the Georgian has grown in popularity in a variety of equine disciplines. <\/p>\n
