Jutland Horse
History of Jutland HorseThe early origins of the Jutland horse are not completely recorded. It is said that during Roman times, it was ridden by the Vikings and it was certainly the Danish war horse of the Middle Ages. It seems that the present day’s Jutland horse came into being in 1850 with the cross breeding of native bloodstock with Cleveland bay, Ardennes and Suffolk Punch. A Suffolk Punch or Shire stallion greatly influenced the breed of Jutland horse. After six generations of the former breed, the founding stallion of the contemporary breed was foaled. Jutland horse looks like Schleswig horse breed. The latter breed is also highly influenced by the same breed that influenced Jutland. It owes much to the Suffolk Punch which was imported and crossed with it and a dubious debt is due to the Yorkshire Coach Horse which was introduced in the 19th century but did little to improve the breed. It is also thought as a possibility that Jutland horse carries the influence of bloodline of Frederiksborg Horse. Physique of Jutland HorseJutland horse is a typical heavy draught horse.

The Jutland horse is a breed of draft horse that rose from Denmark. This horse breed can be traced back to the 9th century and 12th century images of Danish warriors in which these horses are shown being ridden by the warriors. Since the Middle Ages and before, this horse has been bred on the Jutland Peninsula. This horse breed is derived from the cold blood Forest hope of prehistory, just as in case of other heavy horse breeds. This is a horse with immense strength and vigor.
