The Silesian horse , Polish : Ko? ?l?ski , Silesian : ?l?nski k?? , is a breed of warmblood horse from the area of historic Silesia , which lies mostly within modern Poland. It is the heaviest of the Polish warmblood breeds, and has been influenced mainly by the Thoroughbred and Oldenburg , and partly by the East Friesian and German halfbred . The Oldenburg influence was particularly pronounced after World War II, when imported stallions were used to keep the breed from becoming extinct. ^{[1] [2]} Two types are recognised in the breed standard, an old and a new. At 3 years old, stallions of the old type stand 160?170 centimetres (15.3?16.3 hands ) at the withers , mares about 2 cm less; the girth is 190?210 cm (75?83 in), and the cannon-bone circumference about 23?24 cm. ^[2] The new or racing type is taller and lighter, stallions standing 164?170 cm (16.1?16.3 hands ) at the withers and mares about 2 cm less; the girth measures 185?200 cm and the cannon-bone 21.5?23 cm. ^[2] Stallions average 650 kg (1,430 lb), mares 600 kg. The current stud-book dates from 1961; registers for this type of horse have been kept since the late 19th century. In 2008 the breed numbered about 5000. ^[1]
