The National Horse-breeding Farm of Kladruby nad Labem - www.nhkladruby.cz
----------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------
The horse-breeding farm which Czech estates granted to Emperor
Maximilian II. in 1560. In 1579 his son Rudolf II granted the farm
imperial establishment status. Teams of Kladruby white horses used to
be put to coaches on festive occasions at the Prague and Vienna
courts, whereas black horses served the needs of the clergy. In 1918
the horse-breeding farm became the property of the state.
Approximately 1,150 horses of the magnificent Staré Kladruby breed are
kept throughout the world, with almost half of them being in Kladruby
(white horses) and Slatiňany (black horses). The Staré Kladruby horses
continue to appear at royal courts (Denmark), at competitions
involving teams of horses, including world championships, and
Baroque-style horse riding competitions. The Kladruby nad Labem
horse-breeding farm is open to the general public throughout the
entire season.
