  Warmblood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Warmbloods are a group of sport horse breeds and the term simply distinguishes this type of horse from the "cold bloods" (draft horses) and the "hot bloods" (Thoroughbreds and Arabians).
Other breeds are often introduced to the gene pool to reap the benefits of hybrid vigor, and to speed and improve the evolutionary process of attaining the "Breeding Goal" of the particular studbook.
The original warmbloods were bred to be an all purpose agricultural, riding, carriage, and cavalry horse.

American Warmbloods are rapidly gaining ground as the horse of choice in the demanding sport of 3 Day Eventing (encompassing dressage, cross-country and stadium jumping).

The Warmblood horse originated from the old European coaching horses of the 18th and 19th century, which themselves evolved from the heavy chargers used by the knights in the prior century.
As coaching was phased out with the advance of steam and conbustion engines, the coaching horse fell into decline, almost becoming extinct until the late 1950's when a surging interest in the equestrian sports of dressage and cross country jumping began bringing about a revival of sporting horses in general.
