Kisber Felver

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kisber Felver breed was developed at the former Kisber Stud in Hungary. Through a carefully planned and controlled breeding program, rigorous in its selection process, a distinct type evolved. Created over a hundred years ago, the Kisber Felver clearly displays the traits that we desire in the modern sport horse: conformation, athletic ability, movement, and temperament. Unfortunately, World War I and World War II nearly wiped them out. In 1945, more than half of the breeding stock were taken as war damage. 150 Kisber Felver horses were imported for the US Remount. Unlike the romantic and yet similar story of the Lippizaner, these horses were sold at public auction in 1947 when the remount disbanded. Only a handful of people understood the true value of these horses and only through their passion for these "Heavenly Horses" do they remain in here. Kisber Felvers are capable of performing in all modern sport horse disciplines. They range in all solid colors, including palomino and buckskin. they range from 15.3 to 17 hands high. Accepted crosses: All breeding stallions are inspected and licensed by the breeding committee to be used for reprodouction.
