The Danish Warmblood or Dansk Varmblod is a Danish breed of modern sport horse, established in the mid-twentieth century and used mainly for dressage and show-jumping. Like other European warmblood breeds, it is a performance breed: any suitable horse of any origin may be admitted if it passes a strict performance test. Hanoverian, Holsteiner, Swedish Warmblood and Trakehner are among those that have contributed to the breed.
The Danish Warmblood came into existence in 1962 with the formation of a breed society, the German: italic=no|Dansk Sportsheste Avlsforbund; in 1979 this merged with another association, the German: italic=no|Danmarks Lette Hesteavl, to form the present association, Dansk Varmblod. The first volume of the stud-book was published in 1964, and listed 150 mares. Most were imported from outside Denmark – more than 100 were of German breeding – and of the 22 born in Denmark the majority were of Oldenburger origin.
The horses usually stand some at the withers. The coat may be of any solid colour; bay is the most common, but chestnut, grey and dark bay also occur. Limited white markings may be present.
