The
Boulonnais horse is a good choice when you are looking for a calm and
intelligent horse. It has many uses and can be used for dressage riding and driving above the level of a
basic amateur. Though heavily built, the Boulonnais offers elegance
and the ability of moving lightly. Due to it's physical exterieur it
can't be compared to a warmblood horse, but the capacity for dressage
riding is one of the suprising qualities the breed offers.
As a working partner the Boulonnais
horse is a giant with a gentle heart, one of their great features is
their patient attitude towards their users. You will most often find
that the Boulonnais has a sensitive character, attentive without being afraid, learns
quickly but at it's own speed, has endurability and has plenty of
personality.
Regarding the exterieur, you will find
the types of horses varying in sizes. Beginning from approxiamately 1,60
m, the tallest horse known being 1,85 m. 85 percent of the Boulonnais
horses are found in nuances of grey, the remaining being mainly chestnut
with a few dark brown or black individuals. The coat is silky, the mane
double.
In 2006, I was the first to import
Boulonnais horses to Denmark and later I founded the breeding
association. In the meantime, I've imported almost 40 horses of the
breed to several countries.
