Charolais

Country of origin	Charolles, France
Status	extinct
Horse (Equus ferus caballus)

The Charolais or Charollais is an extinct breed of warmblood horse from the Charolais country lying around the town of Charolles, now in the Saône-et-Loire département of Burgundy, in eastern central France. Like other French warmbloods, it was the result of crossing local agricultural horses with the Thoroughbred, and was known by the name of the region without ever having a specific stud-book. Like other French warmbloods including the Angevin, the Charentais, the Cheval Limousin and the Vendéen, it was fused with the Anglo-Normand in 1958 in order to create the national warmblood stud-book, the Selle français.^[1] Principally bred as a light cavalry mount, it was also used for dressage and for jumping.
