Le cheval de selle français est élevé en Normandie principalement dans les départements de la Manche, du Calvados et de l'Orne. La dénomination cheval de selle français s'adresse à tous les chevaux de selle, sauf ceux pouvant prétendre à l'appellation pur-sang anglais, anglo-arabe, arabe, trotteur français ou aux chevaux issus d'un étalon de trait ou nés d'un père dont l'origine est inconnue. [...] 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. 3, record 1, French, - cheval%20de%20selle%20fran%C3%A7ais
