More About The DHH

What we breed for.

Dutch Warmbloods with superior movement, and great show-ability in the Gaited division. Though we only show our horses mainly in Fine Harness and In-Hand classes. The DHH is used undersaddle more lightly. These horses should be animated; not only with great movement, but presence is also a highly coveted trait, as well as flashy white markings from Sa1. sa2/sa2 is adored. Bombroof is not a desired trait as it is difficult to get much animation out of a bombproof horse. The Dutch harness horse should also have admirable conformation, as well as strength, agility, and intelligence. Speed and stamina are not paid much attention.

Approved Colors:
Mainly bay, black, or chestnut, with few greys, roans, rabicanos, and cremes. Sabinos are coveted, and tobianos are rare.

also, look them up on youtube!

Would it be possible to post which colors are NOT accepted? For clarification, are dun, pearl, or champagne dilutions acceptable? I see we can have sabino and tobiano, but not overo or splash and no Lp/PATN?

Excellent question Eireanne! I have a fabulous LS mare but she has silver. Would that be acceptable? She is a lovely bay and has amazing movement and agility so I really want to use her.

Good question. I will make a post about accepted vs unacceptable colors.

As for silver though, I am not sure yet. I have been reading over RL DHH standards, and none mention it.
