INTERESTING OBSERVATIONS Every competing horse for the sport of dressage
was a Warmblood. Out of 20 team horses there were 8 Hanoverians, 4 Dutch Warmbloods, 3 Westphalians, 2 Oldenburgs, 1 Danish Warmblood, 1 Swedish Warmblood and 1 Bavarian Warmblood. There were either one or two Hanoverians at each WEG on the U.S. team. For the sport of jumping, the horses were a mix of
Thoroughbreds and Warmbloods; but a trend of the Warmbloods dominating the sport developed over the years. Still, many of the Warmbloods had a fair amount of Thoroughbred blood. For the sport of eventing, the Thoroughbreds still dominate the top of this sport; however, many are not American born and are imported from other countries. According to Judy Wardrope (our resident conformation expert), her analysis of this year’s Rolex Kentucky competitors also reveals that 70% of all the horses that competed were Thoroughbreds.
