The Klaudruper is the oldest czech horse developed today. Though most of the population of klaudrupers have been taken out (a large herd of blacks was sold off for meat some time ago), the horses still retain their history and beauty in dressage and other sports. Developed for war, much like a lot of the other baroque breeds, klaudrupers of the black variation tend to sit at 16 to 16.5 hands, and have shorter, more barreled chests and sturdy legs. the black variation of the klaudruper, is more Napoleonic and nordic, displaying a heavier body, a shorter coup, and a more roman head, differing from the grey variation.
Klaudrupers at their purest bloodline never have any markings, and are never any other color, though crossbred children can sport the roman nose and different features.

Developed for war, much like a lot of the other baroque breeds, klaudrupers of the grey variation of the breed stands at at least 17 hands, usually, and sports thinner legs and a longer, more sloped back. They tend to have a more sporty look about them. The grey klaudruper has a less roman nose, a larger coup, and a thinner, more Thoroughbredish body, and is usually taller than their black counterparts. Klaudrupers at their purest bloodline never have any markings, and are never any other color, though crossbred children can sport the roman nose and different features.
The lustiano is another Iberian warhorse-type developed with their Spanish variants, the Andalusian. The Lustiano is the Portuguese version, and usually comes in any solid color, though they are most commonly black, grey, or bay. They are about the same height as the black klaudruper, standing at between 15.2 to 16 hands tall, and have narrow, but well-proportioned, heads with profiles that are slightly convex. The necks are thick and arched, leading to well defined withers, shoulders that are muscular and sloping and a deep, broad chest. The horses have short, strong backs and rounded, sloped croups, leading to a low-set tail. The legs are sturdy and muscled. They are noted for their intelligent and willing nature.
Draft Breeds
The Irish Cob is compact and powerful, ample both in muscle and bone, yet, with an ability to perform as a good all-purpose animal. Some Irish Cobs tend to be more "stocky" than others. The Irish Cob is well balanced and proportioned, standing straight and square and offering an imposing appearance. General appearance including topline relates to animals in good condition.
​
The head, which should be held proudly should be carried on a powerful and arched well "set on" neck. The neck should appear to "carry on" through good withers and to finish at the start of the back (this feature should be particularly evident in stallions). The back which should be short and straight should slope gently upwards to a well muscled croup (the back bone/spine or the hip bones should not be apparent). The croup which is quite high and generous should have both croup muscles well defined, the top of the quarters being exceptionally well muscled, broad and ample. The angle of the spine from the croup to the tail should slope gently downwards and should not be exaggerated, this allows for a high, well "set on" tail and contributes to good well rounded quarters .
​
Irish Cobs are classified as either medium weight, or,heavy weight, (Some allowance in bone measurement can be made for mares and geldings only).
Irish Cobs with their unique action, luxuriant hair and feathering and the large range of colours available, combine to present a beautiful and varied sight to see when turned out at their best, particularly when in motion. The Irish Cob should possess a docile and willing nature, with a friendly disposition towards humans and other animal species.
Warmbloods
Developed as a variation of the British spotted pony and British riding pony, the British Appaloosa is more of a type of horse rather than a breed. However, their distinct British lineage and structures differ from the standard, american appaloosa, so here we've provided you with an accurate representation of the new shape and form of the British appaloosa.
