 For more than a century the original Maremanno type has been crossbred with additional Thoroughbred blood, resulting in a taller and more refined type, but at the expense of the hardiness and stamina of the original breed.Crossbreeding with Freiberger horses in the Pesaro province of Italy has resulted in a breed known as the Catria Horse.The Maremmano breed generally stands between and is usually bay, brown, dark chestnut or black, although gray and roan are occasionally seen.
