The Polish sport horse (Polish: Polski koń szlachetny półkrwi) is a studbook of sport horses, from Poland. This recent studbook, which does not constitute a breed, comes from selective breeding for equestrian sports. It is selected from Malopolski and Wielkopolski, both of which perform poorly on the international sporting scene, and from crosses with various sport horses. The animals are large, with muscular rumps and strong legs.
The target market is international dressage and show jumping competitions, but Polish sport horses can also be used as leisure horses. One of the best-known horses in this studbook is MJT Nevados S, the 2015 World Champion 7-year-old showjumper ridden by Belgian rider Grégory Wathelet. The Polish sport horse studbook remains strictly local, and is currently being set up.
