Latvian harness horse

The Latvian Horse (Latvian: Latvijas šķirne or Latvijas zirgi) is a purpose-bred warmblood horse breed from Latvia. Breeding began in Latvia in the early twentieth century,[2]: 316  and a herd book was established in 1927.[4] The breed was officially recognised in 1952. There are two types, sometimes called the Latvian Harness Horse[3] and the Latvian Riding Horse.[6]: 276  The harness type was predominant until about 1960, when demand for sport horses increased and more of the saddle type were bred.[2]: 316
