An Embarrassingly Thick Question...

[3BayGeldings]

Following on from Bugly's KWPN question, I have a really thick one that's kind of related!

How can a horse be registered as a KWPN, for example, yet you look at its lineage and its got hanoverian, holsteiner, oldenburg (Etc) in it? Are these types of warmblood, rather than actual breeds?

Sorry - probably the most obvious thing ever to be asked!

I know nothing about breeding, but maybe this thread from HHO will answer your question?

Yes they are all types of warmbloods. They get their name from the stud they were bred in - the stud usually owned by the government. Hanovarians come from the Hanover area of Germany etc.

Some stallions get approved by different warmblood societies for various reasons - usually because they are of the type bred by the particular society.

I have a Holstiner X whose sire is considered Holsteiner but has lots of TB's in the breeding.

Not a thick question at all this breeding milarky is darned confusing!

Mine is a KWPN X Appaloosa and is registered in both the Dutch KWPN Stambook and the Netherlands Appaloosa Stambook. But has a KWPN Passport. Confusing Not!
