In a world full of solid colored warmbloods, the Knabstrupper is the eclectic cousin of the bunch. From the same spanish bloodlines as the appaloosa<\/a>, they are found displaying all of the appaloosa white patterns<\/a>. The breed started when a spotted mare named Flaebe (probably of Spanish descent) was purchased from a butcher by the Villars Lunn who owned the Knabstrupgaard manor. Although her origins are unknown, her beautiful spotted coat and extreme endurance earned her acclaim. Every one of Flaebe’s foals displayed spotted coats and one went on to become the flagship stud for the Knabstrupper breed<\/p>\n Average height 15.1 – 16 hands Noble head with large, calm eyes These animals can display all of the appaloosa white patterns<\/a>.<\/p>\n Known for their kind and friendly attitude Show horse The Knabstrupper Association for Denmark<\/a><\/p>\n
