The French Trotter was developed in Normandy, a northwestern region of France, in the 1800s. French Trotters now have quite a refined form. French Trotters developed a diagonal two-beat trot. At this pace, they can almost match the speed of a galloping Thoroughbred!
In 1922 the breed was officially recongised and the studbook was closed in 1937, protecting the French Trotter’s unique set of qualities. By then, it was among the fastest trotting breeds in the world. French Trotters have a large, broad head with wide eyes and nostrils, a deep, broad chest with a prominent breastbone, a well-set neck and powerful, sloping shoulders. Their strong back leads to very powerful hindquarters, straight, well-muscled legs and hard hooves. French Trotters can be chestnut, brown, bay, black or grey with the very occasional grey. They stand anywhere from 15.1-17.1 hands high. As well as being used for harness racing, the French Trotter is now used as a riding horse, a show jumper and a hunter.
To include all other pure/part sports horses such as Irish Sporthorses, as well as types like the hack/hunter.
