Maremmano Horse
This wonderfully tough horse from Italy has a gentle nature and a strong physique making it an excellent all round riding horse.
Maremmano horses are bred in Tuscany and are the traditional mounts of buttero, or cattle men. Maremannos are not known for their speed, but they are useful as general purpose horses.

Maremmano - Italy
The Buttero guides its horse with a single hand, holding in the other "l'uncino", a typical shaped stick that helps him to do his job.
Maremmano horses are good for light draught work such as cattle rounding. They are not particularly attractive, or fast, but they work very hard and are pretty strong. They are economical to keep. They are usually aroung 15.3 hh. In other words, 61.
Without definitive goals for the breed, the Maremmano breeding programme was initially a little hit and miss.
The horse is also known as Maremmano or Maremma. These horses are very stable, solid, good-natured, multitalented, enduring, brawny and pliant. They are not extremely fast but work with the cattle using their natural ability.
These Maremmano horses were developed from the east Apennines mainly brought from Tuscany and the Franches- Montagnes (also called Frieberger) were from Switzerland.
