The Rottaler is a German breed of riding and carriage horse of heavy warmblood type.[4]Template:R/superscript The name derives from that of the Rottal, the valley of the Rott in the Landkreis of Rottal-Inn in south-eastern Bavaria. It is critically endangered.[2]Template:R/superscript The Bavarian Warmblood derives from it.[5]Template:R/superscript
History
The Rottaler originated in – and is named for – the Rottal, the valley of the Rott in the Landkreis of Rottal-Inn in south-eastern Bavaria, an area renowned for horse-breeding.[4]Template:R/superscript
A breed society, the Script error: No such module "Lang"., was formed in 1906.[6]Template:R/superscript A breed standard was drawn up, calling for a strong and capable carriage horse with lively gaits, characterised by good temperament, fertility and longevity.[6]Template:R/superscript After the end of the Second World War there seemed to be no demand for such an animal, and the breeding goal was fundamentally changed; selection was aimed exclusively at the creation of a warmblood sport horse – which would eventually become the Bavarian Warmblood. A programme of breed replacement was adopted: Rottaler mares (of which only about 250 remained) were put to Hanoverian or Westphalian stallions, while Rottaler stallions were excluded from registration. In 1963 the traditional "R" brand of the Rottaler was changed to a "B".[6]Template:R/superscript
Only a small number of Rottaler mares survived this period. A census was taken in 1991, and eleven mares were found; two part-bred stallions from Rottaler dam lines were identified. From this nucleus, conservation breeding began. A new stud-book was started in 1994.[6]Template:R/superscript
In the twenty years from 2000 to 2019, the number of recorded breeding mares varied between 14 and 29, and the number of stallions ranged from 2 to 11.[7]Template:R/superscript The Rottaler is an endangered breed, and is listed in the highest-risk category (category I: Script error: No such module "Lang"., "extremely endangered") on the Rote Liste of the Gesellschaft zur Erhaltung alter und gefährdeter Haustierrassen.[3]Template:R/superscript In 2000 it was the "endangered breed of the year" of that association.[8]Template:R/superscript
In 1966 a large bronze sculpture of the Rottaler by Hans Wimmer was erected in the Stadtplatz or main square of Pfarrkirchen.[9]Template:R/superscript
