This breed comes originally from war horses of the Roman Empire, but were eventually almost bred out by the end of the 15th century. They share ties with the Noriker<\/a>, Pinzgauer<\/a> and Black Forest<\/a> breeds. <\/p>\n The first stud farm was established in 1769, where the best of native stock was crossed with heavy animals from neighboring countries. The Oberlander breed arose from a foundation stock that included Belgian<\/a>, Clydesdale<\/a>, Norfolk<\/a>, Cleveland Bay<\/a>, Friesian<\/a>, Norman<\/a> and Oldenburger<\/a> animals. <\/p>\n Cross breeding ended in 1900 and the stud book was closed to outside blood. At that point breeding was carefully monitored to fix desired traits within the breed. Today the government owns a herd of certified animals to preserve and continue each family of these old bloodlines. <\/p>\n Average height 15 – 16 hands<\/p>\n Head is noble and of draft-type chestnut<\/a> with flaxen<\/a> mane & tail | bay<\/a> | appaloosa<\/a><\/p>\n Uncomplicated Driving horse Intro The Oberlander Horse comes from the South German state of Bavaria and are distinct in their large size and often flaxen locks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4795,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[12,5,11,42],"class_list":["post-954","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-germany","tag-appaloosa","tag-bay","tag-chestnut","tag-flaxen"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/954","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=954"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/954\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7369,"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/954\/revisions\/7369"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4795"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=954"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=954"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=954"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Features<\/h3>\n
