Baroque horse is a horse with a strong and very agile body type. Baroque horses tend to have a gentle temperament, and are famous for moving very expressively and smoothly. They are comfortable to ride at any gait and they are also very versatile horses, able to compete in a wide variety of events in addition to being pleasure horses. Some examples of Baroque horse breeds include Lipizzan, Andalusian, Lusitano, and Friesan horses.

Horses with a Baroque body type have been bred since at least the medieval period to serve in battle. Modern Baroque horses share a number of physical types with medieval horses like destriers. They have excellent bone structure, with a solid musculoskeletal system designed to provide them with a great deal of power, and rounded, sloping hindquarters with tails set low. Baroque horses tend to have arched necks, small ears, large nostrils, and broad faces. Unlike the destrier, however, most are very gentle breeds and can be ridden safely by everyone from children just learning to ride to highly experienced equestrians.
