Meet The Stunning And Endangered 'Black Forest' Horses Of Germany

All horses are beautiful in my opinion. But there are some that are unique and catch your eye and hold your grasp. The Black Forest Horse of Germany is certainly one of these horse breeds that you cannot resist admiring. It's characterized by a dense golden mane that pops against the rich chestnut color of their coat. Be prepared to fall in love with this light draft breed that's evolved over centuries in the Black Forest of southwest Germany.

Black Forest Horses are powerful, yet they also have an unbelievable amount of patience and a sweet demeanor. This makes them an excellent alternative for new or inexperienced horse owners. These beautiful horses are commonly used for driving, but many people also utilize them for pleasure activities like carriage riding. Schwarzwälder Füchs, Schwarzwälder Kaltblut, Wälder Horse, and Saint Märgener are some of the other names for these horses. In 2017, there were only 88 stallions and 1,077 mares recorded in the population. These horses, thankfully, are said to have a high reproductive rate. And, thanks to careful breeding, their numbers are expected to rise in the near future.
