About The Breed
The North Swedish Horse is a native Swedish draft breed known for its strength, adaptability, and versatility. Historically developed for small-scale farming and forestry work, this breed's origins trace back to regional working horses that adapted to the Swedish climate and terrain. Northern horses have longer legs to manage deep snow, while southern horses are smaller and more compact due to less snow and limited resources. They were officially named the North Swedish Horse in the early 1900s, the breed remains celebrated for its calm temperament, sound health, and ability to excel in work, riding, and sports driving.
