Austrian Warmblood horses for sale in England

The Austrian Warmblood, also known as Österreichisches Warmblut, is a distinguished sport horse breed originating in Austria, mainly bred at the renowned Federal Studs in Piber and Stadl-Paura. Developed post-World War II, this breed combines native mares like the Haflinger with imported stallions from prestigious lines such as Hanoverian, Holsteiner, Trakehner, and Dutch Warmblood to produce an athletic, elegant horse. Typically standing between 15.3 and 16.3 hands, Austrian Warmbloods boast well-balanced conformation with powerful hindquarters, elastic and rhythmic movement, and solid coat colours including bay, chestnut, black, and grey. They are celebrated for their willing, intelligent, and trainable temperament, making them suitable for a range of riders from amateurs to professionals. This breed excels in competitive equestrian sports like dressage, show jumping, and eventing, while also being versatile enough for leisure riding and combined driving. Their soundness and cooperative character position them as reliable partners in the UK equestrian scene, where their quality is increasingly recognised.
