One of the
more recent of the
selectively bred European
competition horses is the
Danish Warmblood, whose
stud-book was not opened
until the 1960s. In a
relatively short space of
time, however, Danish
breeders have succeeded in
producing a competition
horse of superior quality
and more versatility than
many of the European breeds.
