CONT: Since about the year 1000, the monastery of ""Einsiedeln"" in central Switzerland is known for its horse breeding activities and livestock trading to north (Germany, Austria) and south (northern Italy).

Einsiedler horses are also known as horses from ""Schwyz"" and have always been used for various services (riding, driving, field work, army).
CONT: The Einsiedeln horse, “Cavalli della Madonna”, is still bred at the monastery.
