- Old Kladruby Horse -

   The Old Kladruby Horse is a horse that was developed in the Czech Republic, and now dwells in the East Bohemian Region. It is thought to have strains of the Old Spanish Horse, Old Neapolitan Horse, Lipizzaner, Friesian, Orlov Trotter, and Andalusian. Their herdbook was established in 1770.

They can be black or gray, and their most notable feature is their long, flowing, silky manes and tails. They are used as sport horses, for riding, for carriage horses, and for show horses for ceremonies and presentations. There are not very many of these horses still alive today, but preservation techniques are in place.
