Abstract
The objective of these studies was to determine influence of the locality upon development of Croatian cold-blooded horse. The investigations included 301 breeding mares older than three years at nine localities of lowland and highland area of the Republic of Croatia. Since the investigated Croatian cold-blooded horse belongs to the undersized type, withers, height ranged between 139.00 and 144.84 cm. Chest volume was between 185,52 and 195.29 cm, and cannons circumference between 20,28 and 21,64 cm. Individual differences were considerably higher, which indicates the unconsolidated breeding material. Differences between mean values of highland and lowland area breeding turned out to be highly sigrificant.
