The Sweedish Warmblood is a Sport horse, or Sporthorse, is a term used to describe a type of horse, rather than any particular breed.
The term generally refers to horses bred for the traditional Olympic equestrian sporting events of dressage, eventing, show jumping, and combined driving. The precise definition varies.
In the United States, horses used in hunt seat and show hunter competition are often classed as sport horses, whereas the British show hunter is classified as a show horse.
Horses used for western riding disciplines, Saddle seat, or any form of horse racing are generally not described as sport horses.

Warmbloods are a group of middle-weight horse types and breeds, primarily originating in Europe, registered with organizations that are characterized by open studbook policy, studbook selection, and the aim of breeding for equestrian sport.
The Swedish Warmblood also known as the “Half-blood” was originally bred as a
Cavalry horse in the 17th century, from Spanish, Oriental and Fresian horses.
In the 10th century Hanoverian, Thoroughbred, Arab and Trakehner blood were introduced which produced the modern Swedish Warm blood of today, a big powerful horse that is used as a riding horse.
