•  Forest Horse

  The Forest horse also known as the Warmblood subspecies or Diluvial Horse, now extinct, is a postulate of the Four Foundations theory that argues that there were between four and seven primitive subtypes that preceded the development of the domestic horse, each adapted to a given ecosystem. This subtype is thought to have evolved into the warmblood horses of northern Europe, as well as being an ancestor of some of the older breeds of "heavy horses" such as the Ardennes.
