Breed History
The Freiberg horse originated in Switzerland. It has English Thoroughbred, Breton, Arabian, Anglo-Norman and Belgian Draft blood. The breed was used extensively by the Swiss army, especially during both World Wars. The heavier type is used for transport and agriculture, but since machines have taken over most work that the horse used to do, the lighter type of Freiberg used for riding is more extensively bred.
