His son was later brought to the royal stud farm to be used as a breeding stallion. During this time it was fashionable to separate animals based on their color so similar teams could be put together. By 1850, the Gidran bred animals were primarily chestnut, however they were not bred to preserve Gidran&#8217;s characteristics until some time later. <\/p>\n<p>In an attempt to improve some of the breed&#8217;s faults <a href=\"\/breeds\/english-thoroughbred\">English Thoroughbred<\/a> blood was added which resulted in temperamental animals, so they tried <a href=\"\/breeds\/arabian-horse\">Arabian<\/a> and <a href=\"\/breeds\/kisber-halfbred\">Kisber<\/a> blood. By 1943 the Gidran breed was separated into 3 strains, A, B and C. <\/p>\n<p>In 1958 the remaining stock was moved from the royal stud and further reduced until 1977 when a new breeding initiative took off. Today there are two types of Gidran, a smaller saddle type and a more robust harness horse. Their numbers are quite low and the primary focus of breeding is preserving the gene pool. <\/p>\n<h3>Features<\/h3>\n<p>Average height 15.3 &#8211; 17 hands (minimum size 15.2)<\/p>\n<h3>Physique<\/h3>\n<p>Head is small are well set<br \/>\nNeck is slightly arched are muscular<br \/>\nBack is tight<br \/>\nShoulder is muscular and sloped<br \/>\nLegs are well muscled with strong joints<br \/>\nFeet have good shape are hardness<\/p>\n<h3>Traditional Colors<\/h3>\n<p>Primarily <a href=\"\/colors\/base\/chestnut\">chestnut<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Temperament<\/h3>\n<p>Have a history of bad tempers, but generally sound individuals.<\/p>\n<h3>Use<\/h3>\n<p>Light farming<br \/>\nHarness work<br \/>\nRiding horse<\/p>\n<h3>Helpful Links<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/magyarlovak.hu\/en\/home-page\/\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hungarian National Association of Kib\u00e8r-halfbred Horse Breeders<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cschkkb.cz\/\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Czech Association of Horse Breeders Kisberi<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>More Images<\/h3>\n<div class=\"grid-two\">\n<div class=\"grid-two-one\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/gidran.webp\" alt=\"Gidran Horse\" load=\"lazy\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid-two-two\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/gidran-horse.webp\" alt=\"Gidran Horse\" load=\"lazy\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Video<\/h3>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-A0HeiDuaik?si=BwwYsoibBuc6M4oA\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uzOIbwp-Psw?si=tzPoiE5GKduTZrhj\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Intro The Gidran is a Hungarian Anglo-Arabian breed that comes from a combination of Arabian and Thoroughbred bloodlines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7568,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[89],"tags":[126,11,127],"class_list":["post-617","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hungary","tag-at-risk","tag-chestnut","tag-endangered"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/617","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=617"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/617\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7570,"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/617\/revisions\/7570"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7568"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=617"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=617"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=617"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
