Welcome to the first monthly Breed Embassy Spotlight! This will be a month-long spotlight that features one of our awesome breed embassies and its ambassador. The spotlight will include a various activities or raffles, a badge for the breed embassy, and prizes including points and pointed store pairs!

March's spotlight is on the...

Swiss Warmblood Embassy!

Check out the embassy here!
The ambassador is Koni!

Unfamiliar with the breed? Here's some information from it's breed info page:
"This horse was founded in the 10th century, but then improved in the 19th century by Anglo-Norman mares and a Yorkshire Coach Horse stallion named Bracken. After World War II Sweden disbanded its cavalry and all but 500 of its Warmbloods were slaughtered. Those 500 left were sold to the Swiss Government. The average height for this breed is about 16.2 hands making them quite a tall breed over all. This also makes them slightly heavier at an average of 1500lbs. Usually they are commonly found in the following colors - Black, gray, chestnut, bay and brown, with buckskin, dun, roan, champagne, perlino, cremello, grullo, and palomino being slightly less common but still acceptable colors. The breed is Calm, gentle, willing, easy-to-train, loyal, fun loving, well-mannered, alert and intelligent. They make amazing hunter jumpers, cross country runners, show jumpers, trail and dressage horses because of this!"
