- KWPN Riding Horse -

The KWPN Riding Horse originated from the Netherlands. It is, technically, a half-bred, with Anglo-Norman descendants. It does have an established Herdbook, which is located in the Netherlands at this time. They can be any solid color, and are used for sport and hobbies, as riding horses. They are very easy to handle, have great pulling power, are very adaptable in dressage and jumping, although they are not as fast as a lot of other horses. Because there are an estimated 14,000 of these horses remaining on earth, the breed has not yet reached endangered status, and no efforts are being made to conserve the breed.
