Summary

The Maremmano horse, one of the most important and ancient Italian breeds, has a Stud Book only since 1980. This breed is used for saddle horse production, both as a purebred and as a crossbred. A systematic breeding programme has been implemented to maintain the old genotype and ensure wider variation within the breed.

Résumé

Le cheval Maremmano qui représente l'une des races italiennes les plus importantes et les plus anciennes a un livre généalogique seulement depuis l'année 1980. Cette race est utilisée pour la production de chevaux de selle, aussi bien comme pur sang que comme produit de croisement. Un programme de sélection systématique a été introduit implanté pour chercher de sauvegarder le génotype original et préserver la race par une ample variation génétique.
