CONT

Le cheval de selle français est élevé en Normandie principalement dans les départements de la Manche, du Calvados et de l'Orne.

[...] À un modèle compact et lourd, à un manque d'élégance dans la tête, à un défaut d'équilibre naturel, le selle français oppose une puissance extraordinaire, une aptitude à l'obstacle innée, un caractère docile et une grande taille (1,63 m à 1,73 m) qui en font le cheval de selle par excellence.

CONT

Le Selle Français qui évolue avec succès sur la scène sportive internationale est le fruit d'une longue sélection qui a connu, au cours du XXème siècle, deux grandes mutations.

OBS
