The Hanoverian horse is a warmblood sport horse whose original purpose was for riding, driving and agricultural ploughing.

The Hanoverian is an elegant and powerful horse with solid, graceful limbs and a sturdy back. It is ideal for jumping and dressage. Coat colors tend to be chestnut, brown, black and bay since breeding regulations limit light-colored horses from being registered.

After World War II, the breed changed its role from work horse to elegant riding and sports horse. Numerous Olympic and World Championships make the Hanoverian one of the most important sport horses in the world.American Hanoverian Society: [1]
