What Kind of Horse Originated in Czechoslovakia?
Not one, but six breeds of horses originated in what used to be called Czechoslovakia, but what are now the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Empress Maria Theresa passed horse breeding laws for the area in 1763. The area had very fertile soil excellent for horse breeding according to “Encyclopedia of Horse Breeds.” Out of the six horse breeds, only the Czech warmblood is found outside of the Czech Republic and Slovakia in any significant numbers.
