Belgisch Warmbloed Paard
The Belgian Warmblood or is a Belgian breed of warmblood sport horse. It is bred principally for show-jumping, but is also suitable for dressage and for three-day eventing. It is one of three Belgian warmblood breeds or stud-books, the others being the Zangersheide and the Belgian Sport Horse – to which last it is quite similar. History Breeding of the Belgian Warmblood was begun in 1937, from foundation stock that included Gelderlanders from Holland, Hanoverians from Germany and Norman stock from France. It was initially bred as an agricultural riding horse, as in the northern or Flemish-speaking part of Belgium the breeding of saddle horses was restricted to protect breeding of the Belgian Draught or Brabant heavy horse. After this restriction was lifted in 1954, a breed society, the Fokvereninging van het Landbourijpaard, was formed; a stud-book was opened in 1955. In 1953 the first stallion show took place, illegally, with three stallions. The stud-book grew ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The word also serves as the national motto of the country. A sub-unit of the currency is known as ''thebe'', or "shield", and represents defence. The names were picked with the help of the public.
