We are very proud of the historical success of the Swedish Warmblood and are particularly excited about recent achievements. We offer our thanks and congratulations to all those who have helped contribute to that success. Swedish breeding and equestrianism are experiencing explosive development and Sweden has now reached a position as one of the top nations in the equestrian world. Swedish riders on Swedish Warmbloods have received a great deal of recognition for their strong performances in the Olympics, European Championships and World Championships. Their accomplishments have been in all disciplines in both team and individual competitions. The success of the Swedish Warmblood has been largely the result of breeders and sports bodies under- standing and capitalising on each other´s expertise. This collaboration is the foundation of the Swedish breeding program. Leading sports personalities, such as Eric Lette and Jan-Olof Wannius, together with leading researchers like Professor Jan Philipsson from Sweden´s College of Agriculture have been deeply involved with the breeding community. Swedish breeders have been extremely responsive to changing needs of the sporting community, and this has resulted in increased international competitiveness and widespread improvements in breed quality. Breed quality is evaluated and managed through a solid tradition of young horse testing and a series of competitions for 3-6 year olds. Sweden has excellent resources for breeding with large roaming areas and pastures with clean air and fresh water where animal welfare and protection are central to our way of life. There is a fine equestrian tradition in Sweden with opportunities for anyone interested in sports, breeding or horses in general. Through tradition, collaboration, and change, we have achieved quality and results that are among the best in the world and we look forward to continued success in the years to come.

Only stallions meeting these high standards are permitted for use in commercial breeding. Even after receiving approval, the stallion´s offspring are also evaluated and must meet certain standards in order for the stallion to retain its breeding licence. Both stallions and mares are evaluated in various young horse tests and competitions as well. Sweden has formally tested young horses for over 30 years and today over 60 % of all 3-6 year old horses participate in testing. All test results are added to a database that includes over 20,000 horses and is used for extensive research programs as well as computing the breeding index of stallions and mares. Sweden´s early evaluation program for Swedish Warmbloods has received tremendous interest among riders and breeders throughout the world. Young horse testing has proven to be very closely related to the long-term success of the horse. Early evaluation ultimately results in a more responsive breeding program and shorter timeframes for achieving desired results. Sweden´s premier events that showcase the Swedish Warmblood in various disciplines include the Scandinavian Finals held in Falsterbo each July and the Swedish Sports and Breeding Championships held in Flyinge each autumn. The most coveted award, the Breeders Trophy, is a symbol of Sweden´s recognition of the importance of collaboration between the sporting community and breeders. Swedish bred young horses compete for a 1,000,000 SEK prize that is shared between the owner and breeder. Folder 6 sidor b 5 03-08-17, 22.35 oland Thunholm. The Swedish Warmblood is one of the oldest warmblood breeds and has for centuries been bred for riding. This tradition dates back to the 17th century when Sweden was a dominant military power in northern Europe and the primary breeding objective was to provide the cavalry with sturdy horses. Today, the Swedish Warmblood has received international recognition as a top breed in all disciplines. Four Swedish bred horses qualified for the jumping final in the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney. Out of this highly successful team one horse placed in the 2002 World Equestrian Games jumping final and yet another horse received a third place in the 2003 World Cup final. The top ranked dressage stallion in the world 2001 was a Swedish Warmblood. In three-day eventing the bronze medal in the 2002 WEG was awarded to a Swedish bred horse. So how did the Swedish Warmblood successfully evolve from battle on the field of war to battle in the arena? The Swedish Warmblood´s combination of power and grace were recognised long ago as serving a variety of purposes. Eventually the focus of breeding was extended to match the demands of farmers as well as the cavalry. This resulted in the creation of standards for each type of use and set the stage for a comprehensive breeding program with multiple objectives. esign and production: VGM Productions.

VGM esign and production: D In 1928, the Swedish Warmblood Association (ASVH) was formed by breeders and supported by the army for the purpose of promoting the breed for riding. This was at a time when most other warmblood breeds were still being bred primarily for agricultural uses. Over time, carefully selected breeding stock from Hannover, Oldenburg, Trakhenen, Holstein and East Prussia was imported to add specific qualities and enhance the gene pool. Thoroughbred stallions have also been used to improve the breed. While the cavalry is long since gone, the results of the long history of breed- ing and selection of the Swedish Warmblood can still be seen at virtually every major equestrian championship around the world.

  • List of Horse Breeds 1 List of Horse Breeds
    List of horse breeds 1 List of horse breeds This page is a list of horse and pony breeds, and also includes terms used to describe types of horse that are not breeds but are commonly mistaken for breeds. While there is no scientifically accepted definition of the term "breed,"[1] a breed is defined generally as having distinct true-breeding characteristics over a number of generations; its members may be called "purebred". In most cases, bloodlines of horse breeds are recorded with a breed registry. However, in horses, the concept is somewhat flexible, as open stud books are created for developing horse breeds that are not yet fully true-breeding. Registries also are considered the authority as to whether a given breed is listed as Light or saddle horse breeds a "horse" or a "pony". There are also a number of "color breed", sport horse, and gaited horse registries for horses with various phenotypes or other traits, which admit any animal fitting a given set of physical characteristics, even if there is little or no evidence of the trait being a true-breeding characteristic. Other recording entities or specialty organizations may recognize horses from multiple breeds, thus, for the purposes of this article, such animals are classified as a "type" rather than a "breed". The breeds and types listed here are those that already have a Wikipedia article. For a more extensive list, see the List of all horse breeds in DAD-IS.

In this PRE population (35,267 PRE), a total of 9693 animals (27.12% of total) was Ewe Neck-affected. It has been demonstrated that genetic and risk factors (sex, age, geographical area, coat color, and stud size) are involved, being more prevalent in the males, 4–7 years old, chestnut coat, from small studs (less than 5 mares), and raised in North America. The morphological traits height at chest, length of back, head-neck junction, and bottom neck-body junction and the body indices, head index, and thoracic index were those most closely related with the appearance of this morphological defect. The additional genetic base of Ewe Neck in PRE, which presents low-moderate heritability (h2: 0.23–0.34), shows that the prevalence of this defect could be effectively reduced by genetic selection.

Department of Animal Science, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE 68583-0908, USA. Summary The horse reference genome from the Thoroughbred mare Twilight has been available for a decade and, together with advances in genomics technologies, has led to unparalleled developments in equine genomics. At the core of this progress is the continuing improvement of the quality, contiguity and completeness of the reference genome, and its functional annotation. Recent achievements include the release of the next version of the reference genome (EquCab3.0) and generation of a reference sequence for the Y chromosome. Horse satellite-free centromeres provide unique models for mammalian centromere research. Despite extremely low genetic diversity of the Y chromosome, it has been possible to trace patrilines of breeds and pedigrees and show that Y variation was lost in the past approximately 2300 years owing to selective breeding. The high-quality reference genome has led to the development of three different SNP arrays and WGSs of almost 2000 modern individual horses. The collection of WGS of hundreds of ancient horses is unique and not available for any other domestic species.
