Present and Future
By the end of the 20th 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 worldwide it is one of the rarest horse breeds in the world.
The Czech Republic has recognized that the breed is worth saving as cultural property. Various breeders of Kinsky horses are expanding their breeding programs in central Europe and there are also breeders and enthusiasts of the Kinsky horse in England, America and elsewhere. The future looks safer for this breed, and some promoters have the goal of seeing a Kinsky horse once again running at The European Grand National - Pardubice to celebrate more than 160 years of the Kinsky sport horse and countless more of the Kinsky horse in general.

Famous quotes containing the words present and/or future:
“I can’t earn my own living. I could never make anything turn into money. It’s like making fires. A careful assortment of paper, shavings, faggots and kindling nicely tipped with pitch will never light for me. I have never been present when a cigarette butt, extinct, thrown into a damp and isolated spot, started a conflagration in the California woods.”
—Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
“To pin your hopes upon the future is to consign those hopes to a hypothesis, which is to say, a nothingness. Here and now is what we must contend with.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
