Intelligent and also considered gentle, these animals are distinctive looking and generally quite pleasant as well. While they are noted for being such rugged horses, they are equally as gentle. They can be found in Denmark, Germany, Sweden, and around many seas, such as the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. They are also bred in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Italy.

Knabstrup History

Coming from Denmark, the Knabstrup breed was developed from a Spanish cavalry mare to evolve into a popular Danish breed. Some experts believe this breed began sometime during the invasion led by Napoleon and that one of the horses was somehow left behind. That single horse, brought by a man named Flaebe, a butcher, started a new desire for this breed to be developed even further. That horse was white and had a few brown spots. Someone that owned an estate named the horses Knabstrup and they were also referred to as ‘Knabstruper’. Inside the Frederiksborg stallions became a Knabstrup and from there the horse was able to lend a few of their notable traits to the new breed. They were created with that unique sense of color and spots on their coats, and their adoring personalities were just a plus. If you have ever spotted an American Appaloosa, then you've seen the only other variation that comes close to being mistaken as a Knabstrup.
