The French Trotter was developed in Normandy, France. In 1815, after the continental trading blockade was lifted, the Normandy breeders began to breed horses using the all-purpose Norman stock of horses as a foundation ...

The average height of the breed is 16.2 hh and the best-ridden trotters are the bigger horses. The French Trotter is [a hardy] animal with lots of stamina. The national studs are the main breeding centers of Le Pin and Saint Lo. Also known as: Trotteur francais, Anglo-Norman Trotter, Norman Trotter. 3, record 2, English, - French%20trotter
