Jinzhou horse

Country Of Origin	China
History and Background	The Jinzhou horse breed is a source of pride among the people of Jin County in the Liaodong Peninsula. This is a strong, resilient and energetic horse breed that is perfect for riding and draft work. Its harmonious, well-developed body and powerful features make it one of the top choices for agricultural and other intensive labor. in the northern part of the Yellow Sea between the Bohai Sea and Korea Bay. In the past, the Jinzhou was primarily Mongolian; the Japanese, however, crossed it with other breeds such as the Anglo-Norman, the Hackney and the Orlov Trotter which were brought to China from the late 1920s to early 1940s. A more important event in the development of the Jinzhou breed, however, is the infusion of the Percheron blood; this was done in order to provide the Jinzhou with more power and thus make it suitable for military use. During the late 1940s a further attempt to improve the breed was made, resulting into the modern-day Jinzhou breed.
