About the breed (cf. source: Wikipedia):

A Hanoverian is a warmblooded horse originating in Germany. Horses of this breed are often seen in the Olympic Games and other difficult English style competitions, and have won gold medals in all three equestrian Olympic competitions. The Hanoverian is one of the oldest, most numerous, and most successful of the warmbloods. Originally a carriage horse, infusions of Thoroughbred blood lightened it to make it more agile and useful for competition. The Hanoverian is known for its wonderful temperament, beauty, athleticism, and grace. The horses are elegant, strong, and robust. They are bred to be willing and trainable, and have a strong back, powerful body, strong limbs and athletic movement. Chestnut, brown, bay, black, and gray are found the most often. Regulations prohibit horses with too much white, and buckskin, palomino and cremello horses from being registered. The horses can be 15.3-17.2 hands high but most are in the range of 16-16.2 hands.
