The Mecklemburg horse

The original German stock, of the Cob type, was prized as carriage and driving horses. In the 19th century, it was crossed with the Thoroughbred and became a cavalry horse. In the twentieth century, after the Second World War, Anglo-Arabs and, above all, Hanoverians were introduced to make him a saddle horse. The result was a horse that was a “first cousin” of the latter. The Mecklemburg, however, is smaller and stockier than the Hanoverian.
