You are here: Terrific-Horses.com > Horse Breeds > Freiberger Book Search: Freiberger Description The Freiberger also referred to as the Franches-Montagnes originated in the Jura region of western Switzerland. The Freiberger has a strong Norman influence. Many of the Freibergers link back to one stallion, Vaillant, foaled in 1891 with connections to the Norfolk Roadster, Thoroughbred, and Anglo-Norman. A second important line was created by an Anglo-Norman imported in 1889, Imprevu. There were many other unimportant crosses with Belgian, French and English horses. A new bloodline emerged after the Second World War. This bloodline emerged from a stallion with Norman blood, Urus. Since this last bloodline emerged, there has been careful selective breeding using Anglo-Normans and even some Arabians. The Freiberger is an active mover, calm, good-natured, and sure-footed. The Freiberger is ideal for small mountain farms as a workhorse and was the foundation of the army pack companies for many generations. This horse stands on average 15 hh. The Freiberger horses are bred and raised in Avenches at the Federal Stud. Google Ads
