Angevin horse

The Angevin is an extinct breed of light saddle-horse from western France. It was bred principally in the area around Angers, France. It stood about 149–157 centimetres at the withers. It was used as a mount for light cavalry. The Angevin was merged with other regional breeds, including the Anglo-normand, the Charentais, the Charolais and the Vendéen, to create the Selle Français in 1958.
