Württemberger horses have excellent temperaments, combining
a sensible attitude with lively and free action. These traits may have
originally been due to their use as draft horse and Arabian blood. They are
tough and economical to feed when compared to Thoroughbreds.
The standard Württemberger stands around 16.1 hands high,
and is usually bay, chestnut, brown, or black in color. They have average-sized
heads with a straight profile, a good neck, and prominent withers. Their chest
is deep and the shoulders are sloping and well-muscled in most cases. The back
is long and straight and the croup sloping. They have muscular legs with hard,
well-formed hooves.
