Maremmano Horse

It is believed that the Maremmano is a descendant of the Neapolitan horse. Maremmanos are bred in Tuscany, Italy and are the traditional horse of the cattlemen. Their overall appearance is a little coarse and improvements on confirmation are being made through cross breeding with Thoroughbred horses. Maremmanos combine a quiet temperament with strength and toughness making them a good working horse. Because Maremmanos have an amenable nature they are used as police horses and in the army.
