Ragear:
didn't know that the german sherperd originated here, been living here for just 12 years, haha. Always something new every day. But there doesn't seem to be an exhibit about this fact, so no reason to come here :-) wish you fun over here!

Suran:
I think with Karlsruhe Lance is referring to a specific one. ;)

Actually the Lippizaner is an austrian breed. You can see them at the "Spanische (spanish) Hofreitschule", which is located in Vienna, Austria. The place, where all of these beautiful horses are bred, is the national horse breeding farm at Piber, Austria.
The Frisian is a race, which is oringinally bred in the Netherlands. The ones you can see here at Germany are really just "lame excuses" for a Frisian.

If you are travelling to Nuremberg, maybe you want to make a short stop near Stuttgart at the "Landgestüt Marbach" - they breed a really genuine draft-horse, the "Schwarzwälder" and are famous for their beautiful Thorougbred Arabians.

Germany - especially the south of Germany - is famous for a lot of different (beautiful) draft-horse-races like the "Schwarzwälder", the "Süddeutsche Kaltblut" and the "Noriker". Sadly, one of the bigger traditional events, where you could meet a lot of those beautiful horses, is right on the EF-Weekend.
