About Banat Horses

Banat horses were a moderately large-framed horse from the Timus Plateau of Romania; however, they are now extinct.

They were developed by crossing Nonius, Noric, Ardennes, Oldenburg, and Lipitsa horses. They became an important animal to the local people and were used primarily for agricultural work.

Unfortunately, with the emergence of modernization techniques for farming, the Banat, among other draft type animals fell into extinction.
