Slovenian Cold-blood

Slovenian Cold-blood (Slovene: Slovenski hladnokrvni konj[2]) is an autochthonous breed of horse, originating in Slovenia.

[4][5] Slovenian cold-blood horses are mostly bay or black, can have white facial markings and reach medium sizes.

[6] In historical records it is evident that developing the Slovenian Cold-blood included breeding of multiple other coldbloods (such as Bohinj, Kobarid, Međimurje, Posavje, Alpine horse and others), of which some already went extinct.

The current Slovenian Cold-blood population is being divided into multiple bloodlines, with all except one (of Croatian-Belgian Međimurje origin) being connected with Noric ancestors.

Since Slovenian Cold-blood is primarily a breed of cold-blooded type, some horses are still used as typical draft horses, helping farmers on their farms, working with foresters, pulling a carriage and performing other tasks that require physical strength of strong working animals.

Different colour variants of Slovenian Cold-blood, with bay or black horses being the most widespread.
