Equus Kinsky          

The Kinsky horse or Equus Kinsky Europe's original sport horse was bred until the middle of the 20th century in Bohemia, a part of the modern-day Czech Republic. At one time it was the most prominent breed in that part of the world.

They are considered to have stamina, athleticism and good character. Their coats can be various shades of gold [40%], bay, and the very rare black. All colors have an intensive gloss.

Much importance is attached to the balanced, good-natured character of these horses. From birth, Kinsky horses are all very much inclined towards humans, friendly and curious.

The Kinsky horse is a versatile, multipurpose horse, suited to Dressage, Eventing, Steeplechasing, fox hunting and polo. It is also suited for Dressage or show jumping at the highest levels.

By the end of the twentieth century, the Kinsky horse breed had been partly assimilated into the Czech warm blood. The Kinsky horse is no longer threatened today (2006), but with less than 1,000 Kinsky horses surviving world-wide it is one of the rarest horse breeds in the world.
