Olympic medal winning Dutch warm blood horses
The Dutch Warmblood is a breed of horses developed as a competitive horse and recreational equestrian disciplines important international dressage, jumping, eventing three-day and driving for which he won recognition around the world. It is also known as the Sport Horse Dutch Royal Dutch or simply Sport horse.
Most warmblood breeds are continuing to evolve. In fact, not reproduced in the sense that Thoroughbreds, Arabians, Morgan Horses and Saddlebreds are breeds. His books are not closed herd so that other races can be entered in the gene pool to reap the benefits of hybrid vigor and speed and improve the evolutionary process of attaining the goal of breeding a herd book in particular. The Dutch Hot Blood is no exception.
Registered warmblood breeding in the Netherlands has been going for over 100 years. In 1887, King Willem II Dutch organization recognized the first herd book and in so doing, he laid the foundation for the regulation of warm blood breeding. During the 19th century several regional and local horses bred stud book especially for agriculture.
In the 1950s, the Dutch Warmblood horse developed from crosses of two races created by the Dutch man – the Gelderland and Groningen, and then refine the thoroughbred horse to improve stamina. The Gelderlander evolved in the light sandy soils in the central Netherlands and is a medium sized horse with an elegant step jump skills inherited from their ancestors many, Gelderlander gave the new generation of excellent forequarters. The Groningen took place in heavy clay soils of northern Holland in a workhorse big style heavy, who missed almost the mid-20th century, because a significant number of mares that are used to create the Dutch warm blood that left little purebreds. So the Gelderland and Groningen share Friesian, Holsteiner and Oldenburger their ancestors along with other related Warmbloods, such as Oldenburg and Hanover used to clarify minor details, and the formation emphasizing a calm temperament. The breeding program that began in the 1960s gave the world one of the most successful breeds of horses has been developed in postwar Europe.
However, there are three varieties of Dutch warm blood horses. Using the old established lineages, the Netherlands developed a real or Rijpaard equestrian sport, thoroughbred stallions and riding type stallions from France, Holstein, Hanover and elsewhere, taking care to keep the qualities of old Dutch breeds. Hackney horses were also introduced in this crusade in order to produce a stylish harness horse, with an action of pride, head to the knees and high transport, known as the Dutch and harness Tuigpaard with American Saddlebred to be added now. Other farmers will continue to generate the traditional draft horse Gelderlander light, or Basistype, by the junction of Groningen to add more mass. As a result, modern Dutch warm-blooded horse is divided into three categories in the KWPN Studbook as sport horse, the horse harness and Gelderlander traditional type.
Breeding and selection of Dutch warm-blooded horse is strictly controlled and monitored by the Koninkijk Warmbloed Paardenstamboek Nederland (KWPN) or warm-blooded Royal Horse Studbook of the Netherlands. This provides for the registration of breeding and herd book in North America through a union branch (KWPN-NA) formed in 1983. Keurings or horse inspections are held every year in the Netherlands and in North America and the horses are at the age of three or more. Only after they have proved to possess the necessary quality and breed standard will be registered in the Studbook and allowed to be classified as Dutch warm-blooded horses. However, the marks of horses is illegal under Dutch law, so today only the oldest still Dutch Warmbloods bear the mark of the lion rampant on the left hip. Today's horses are a microchip in place.
But the selection process does not end with the inspection one. Both sexes undergo regular review assessments and classifications are given according to their contribution to the race, including their own achievements and the achievements of their children. N registry has been most successful international exhibition of the KWPN jumpers. With at least eight Olympic medals since 2000, two in dressage, 6 jumping, Dutch warm blood horse ranked first jump by World Breeding Federation for Sport Horses (WBFSH) in 2007.
Physically, the Netherlands is warm-blooded horse, 15.2 hands with no upper height limit, although the average is 16.2 hands with some reaching 17 hands. A horse that is too high is not practical for the sport and therefore not desirable. The head is elegant, with a straight profile and the neck is long and arched. The cross is quite prominent and girth is deep with plenty of heart room. The forelegs are strong and well muscled and rear are powerful. The hock joints are close to the ground and these factors combine to give great power to Dutch warm blood. The overall impression that a horse must be balanced proportions. They are easy to handle, easy to use and intelligent, with a character ready and working.
Most Dutch Warmblood horses are black, brown, bay, brown or gray. White spots on face and legs are not uncommon. The gene pool also has several horses tobiano stallion approved Samber, although no tobiano horse has passed since then. The roan pattern back from time to time from the approved stallion, El Rosso.
Dutch Horse warm-blooded are high achievers, but good shape should not be overshadowed by the achievements. In a relatively short time the modern Dutch Warmblood has increased the importance international competition. Dutch Warmbloods have been exported worldwide and the winners are under the flags of many nations in international competitions and as in the Olympics.
Dutch warm blood horses must have a name no more than 20 characters or spaces beginning with the letter assigned for the year birth. The letter for 2008 is designated "D" and may be the same name as a horse before, but the registration number itself be unique. However, approved stallions must have a unique name and in some cases must be changed once approved.
However, there is a downside to the race. Osteochondrosis (OC) currently is the most common developmental disorder in horses, where there is a disturbance in the process of ossification, resulting in the formation of abnormal bone and cartilage growth in a foal. Currently, OC affects approximately 30% of young horses worldwide, especially in warm-blooded breeds. Among the 12,000 foals born each year and recorded by the Dutch Warmblood studbook KWPN, an average of 3,000 OC developed during its first year. A genetic study fully to investigate the differences in genetic background between the boards and the differences among the factors that influence the development of organized crime is in progress and continue for two more years.
The success of Dutch warm-blooded horse is no accident. Same features and approaches that countries have done Outstanding low in agriculture and commerce have been applied to its goal of raising the best horse in sport in the world.

Why not allow us to use our national flag in the Olympic Games in China?
We in Wales have been left out of the flag of the United Kingdom for centuries. (Political reasons) and now we have been forbidden to use our national flag at the Olympics. which is supposed to promote national unity among the nations of the world. We have some that are potential medalists for Welsh nationality. So why are the Chinese afraid of our Dragon? Or do English wants to claim our medals, as their own? We have our own Parliament, and have successfully competed at the Commonwealth level under our own flag. so we are stolen again? lol does not take much time to wind up English. I asked a good and fair and typical responses I have English … I hope that Welsh taxpayers money was not spent on their education … Happy Olympics.
Because they carry the flag representing the country that are competing if not, where are you.
