Nowadays, the breeding goal of the South German cold blood is to obtain a horse that is as light-footed and versatile as possible. With their strong nerves and gentle nature, they are regarded as powerful all-rounders. Although they have lost their importance for humans as back and draught horses due to the development of cars and machines, the tradition continues. We bought Veneziano and 10 other foals from a horse market in Rottach-Egern. If we hadn't discovered him, he would probably have found himself on a transport to Italy for slaughter.
