The warm blood horse breeds were developed many years ago after the European soldiers came home from Africa and the Middle East where they had captured many horses and they brought the hot blooded Arabian horses home to Europe. The Europeans crossed their heavy war horses which were cold bloods with the hot blooded Arabians and they got the warm blood. The warm blood breeds are very popular eventing horses and they are also used on ranches for herding cattle, roping and other ranch work. The warm blood horses are not as heavy built as the cold bloods. They are calmer and have a better disposition than the hot bloods. In the beginning the warm bloods were used for riding and light work. Now they are used mostly for riding and competition.
