Those breeds are typically named after their country of origin so we end up with Canadian Warmblood, German Warmblood and Dutch Warmblood as examples.

Thank you Chrysalis. Makes sense for their different temperaments. I wonder though can a hot blood horse be made calm. I wonder if reiki or music works for that.
