History
The Hungarian Warmblood was first developed at the Mezohegyes State Stud in Hungary. The breed came about when the stud crossed other native Hungarian horses like the Nonius (horse), Kisber Felver, Gidran and Furioso. These breeds have also helped breeds such as the Holsteiner, Hanoverian and Dutch Warmblood. Now, a very rigid breeding standard insures that all breeding stallions be inspected, licensed or approved by the breeding committee and must meet sport qualifications.

“I believe my ardour for invention springs from his loins. I can’t say that the brassiere will ever take as great a place in history as the steamboat, but I did invent it.”
—Caresse Crosby (1892–1970)
“... the history of the race, from infancy through its stages of barbarism, heathenism, civilization, and Christianity, is a process of suffering, as the lower principles of humanity are gradually subjected to the higher.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
