- Beberbeck -

The Beberbeck horse breed originated in southwestern Germany, where the stud of that name was founded just about two hundred years ago. The breed was introduced by crossing local Beberbeck mares with Arabian stallions, and after that the resulting mares were crossed with English Thoroughbreds. The next cross was with the local Beberbeck stallions. This was done to retain type and substance. The result was a heavy Thoroughbred type, which tends to be deep through the girth. They are predominantly bay or chestnut and stand at 16 hh or taller. Very few Beberbeck horses exist today, because the breed has been mostly amalgamated in the German and Eastern European modern warmblood sports horses.
