Czech Warmblood horses for sale in Birkenhead, Merseyside

The Czech Warmblood, also known simply as the Český Teplokrevník, is a modern sport horse breed developed in the Czech Republic after World War II. Originating from crosses between local Czech mares and imported stallions such as Hanoverians, Holsteiners, and Thoroughbreds, this breed was created to excel in disciplines like dressage, show jumping, and eventing. Typically standing between 15.3 and 17 hands, the Czech Warmblood boasts an athletic, well-balanced build with strong hindquarters, a sloping shoulder, and expressive head. Its coat usually appears in solid colours like bay, chestnut, or black. Known for its calm and intelligent temperament, the breed is highly trainable and willing, making it suitable for both competitive riders and leisure enthusiasts. The Czech Warmblood is gaining recognition in the UK for its versatility, soundness, and value, often providing a more accessible alternative to more established warmbloods. Its training potential and solid work ethic make it ideal for a range of equestrian pursuits, from eventing to recreational riding.
