Read moreMe and my friends are die-hard fans of European equestrian history and we wish the castle had been more informative about the Danish horse breeds: the Frederiksborger, Jutland and Knabstrupper horses.
Horsey tourists exist and travel ALL the time. Stud farms are private, so you'd would want to come somewhere public to absorb and appreciate information at the castle's stables. There are fans like me that really would want to be educated about the history of these horses at such museum. Yes, your current Kladdruber horses are gorgeous and equally historical, they're not a Danish breed, but Czech. The breeds of Denmark really need to be shown off more and be appreciated at such a...
