The Austrian Warmblood is a warmblood type of horse registered with Austria’s Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Warmblutzucht in Österreich (AWÖ). The breed’s roots are in Austria, and its studbook includes jumping and dressage horses from multiple countries. Its mare base, however, is made up of native horses with a long history in the region. The AWÖ maintains an open studbook, and mares and stallions must pass inspections before they can become breeding stock. The listed height is 1.66. These details describe a horse breed and its breeding registry; they do not specify the horse’s temperament, care needs or suitability for a particular rider.
