Schleich - Holsteiner Gelding
Holsteiner Gelding
Holsteiners are very popular sport horses and are one of the oldest German breeds. The monks at Uetersen Monastery, located in what is now Schleswig-Holstein in northern Germany, started breeding them in the 14th century. However, the first recorded mentions of Holsteiners are much older, dating back to the year 1225.
Fun Fact: Holsteiners are branded with a crowned shield containing the letter “H”.
