Wuerttemberger horses for sale in Cannock

The Wuerttemberger, also known as Württemberg horse, is a warmblood breed originating from the Württemberg region in southwestern Germany. Developed primarily at the historic State Stud Marbach, this breed was initially bred as an all-purpose agricultural and carriage horse, prized for its strength and stamina. Traditionally, the Wuerttemberger exhibits a medium-heavy build, standing between 15.2 to 16 hands high, with a calm and intelligent temperament, making it suitable for both work and riding. Its coat usually appears in chestnut, bay, or black, often with white markings. Post-WWII, the breed underwent modernization with the infusion of Trakehner and other warmblood lines, evolving into a taller, more athletic sport horse standing 16 to 17 hands. Today, the Wuerttemberger is celebrated for its excellent temperament, trainability, and versatility, excelling in dressage, show jumping, and leisure riding. Its suitability for amateur and professional riders alike, combined with its soundness and reliability, makes it a valued horse in the UK equestrian market. This breed retains a unique heritage while adapting to contemporary equestrian demands.
