These small, robust draft horses were used for working on the farm in the forest in hilly regions. The Schwarzwalder Fuchs is suited for the long winters in the highlands. In 1896 the breed-association wanted the farmers to only breed heavy Belgian Draft horse stallions to this breed to increase the horses size. The traditional farmers secretly bred the Schwarzwalder Fuchs with native Black Forest stallions, which were thought to be decendents of the Noriker breed. After World War I the breed-association decided the Belgian Draft Horses were not appropriate for the Schwarzwald-farmers, so the farmers were permitted to use whatever stallions they wished. Today the Schwarzwalder Fuchs is a very suitable leisure horse with a great character that is most often used for riding and as a coach horse. Google Ads
