Since centuries, there is in the Brittany an easy one and a heavy hit of workhorses, early Roussin and Sommier named. Through in-crossing of noble-blood (Norfolk Roadster and Hackney), the still today existent easy Postier-Breton, through addition of Ardennern, Percheron and Boulonnais of the heavy Zugtyp, was created. Through one-cruised Arabs and thoroughbreds erheilt one also an extremely fast, easy hit, that was called Corlay; it rose in the Selle Français today. in 1909, two Stutbücher were justified, that were put together soon, however. The powerful race is used also for the battle-horse-production, that still has big meaning in France.
