 Americans
are known around the world for being competitive and when they saw
how successful the various continental European warmbloods were
in competitive equestrian disciplines, particularly show-jumping
and dressage, in was only natural that they want to establish their
own Warmblood horse.
 They
imported high-class European warmbloods and in the early 1980s started
the American Warmblood Society, with the goal of creating a superior
performance warmblooded horse in the US of A. As a warmblood, though,
they could technically be anything other than one hundred percent
hot blood or one hundred percent coldblood, and the Americans could
introduce into their embryonic breed almost anything, from heavy
horse breeds to almost completely Arabian or Thoroughbred, which
gives them an amazing selection of genes. It seems that it will
be a long time before a recognizable breed emerges, but the rest
of the world can be sure that whatever animal comes out from under
the banner of American Warmblood in the future, it will certainly
be able to excel in competition.
