History:
The Selle Francais is a French warmblood developed in the 1800's in Normandy, France. When the focus in horse breeding changed from work horses to riding horses, many studs crossed draft with light riding horses, but the Selle Francais is a mix of European coach, riding , and racing breeds. The Selle Francais was bred all over the country, each region's breed slightly different from another's, but after WWII the French government unified the regional breeds, creating the breed Selle Francais, or le Cheval de Selle Francais.
Physical Appearance:
Selle Francais are EXTREMELY well built for both jumping and racing and also excel at dressage and eventing. Selle Francais stand, on average, from 15.2 hands to 17 hands but horses shorter and taller are found. Most horses are either bay or chestnut but many other colors are found.
Other Info:
Selle Francais are prized horses for jumping but are good racers as well, racing in French AQPS races, races for horses other than Thoroughbreds. Foals are slow to mature and continue growing until they are five or occasionally even older, but once grown have few bred-specific health problems.
