During World War II, French Thoroughbred breeding did not suffer as it had during the first World War, and thus was able to compete on an equal footing with other countries after the war. [ 62 ] Organized racing in Italy started in 1837, when race meets were established in Florence and Naples and a meet in Milan was founded in 1842.
The history of warmblood horse breeding - that is, a horse that was neither draft horse nor Arabian nor Thoroughbred - in Mecklenburg is similar to that in the rest of Germany. Mecklenburgers prior to World War II were all-purpose utility horses. Individual sires, families or breeders might specialize, but the most economically efficient horse ...
Anblick xx (1938–1964) dark bay or brown Thoroughbred, 161 cm (Ferro xx – Herold xx – Nuage xx) Bred at Graditz State Stud. Anblick xx was the first post-World War II refining sire. In comparison to their dams, his offspring were lighter-boned, exceptionally good movers, game and bold over fences.
One of Bolero's best-known female descendants was the Hanoverian mare Brentina (1991 – 2021), [72] the first American horse to take the FEI World Cup Final in 2003; made the shortlist for the 2004 Summer Olympics; and was named to the 2006 World Equestrian Games team, earning a bronze medal for the United States.

The World Breeding Federation for Sport Horses (WBFSH) uses results from FEI-recognized competitions to rank individual horses and breed registries for each discipline. In 2008, the Hanoverian stallion Weltmeyer was the world's #3 sire of WBFSH dressage horses, behind #2 Donnerhall, who was sired by the Hanoverian Donnerwetter. [5]
The state stud was established in 1731 and operated until 1944, when the fighting of World War II led to the annexing of East Prussia by Russia, and the town containing the stud renamed as Yasnaya Polyana. The Trakehner typically stands between 15.2 and 17 hands (62 and 68 inches, 157 and 173 cm).
The Darley Arabian was to become the most important sire in the history of the English Thoroughbred. [3] His son Bulle Rock was the first Thoroughbred to be exported to America, in 1730. [4] Most Thoroughbreds can be traced back to Darley Arabian. In 95% of modern Thoroughbred racehorses, the Y chromosome can be traced back to this single stallion.
(The Trakehner, while a warmblood horse from Germany, has a closed stud book and thus, like the Thoroughbred and Arabian, is considered a "true" breed.) All horses that are warmbloods and bred in Germany are named after the region in which they are born in. There is an exception to this and that is the Trakehner breed. [1]
