The Luxembourg Warmblood or French : Cheval de Selle Luxembourgeois is a Luxembourgeois breed of warmblood sport horse. As with other European warmblood sport horses, admission to the stud-book is based on performance rather than parentage. Warmblood breeding within Luxembourg derives mostly from Holsteiner and Hanoverian stock imported from Germany. [2] : 168 

From 1970 registration was through the Fédération des Stud-Books Luxembourgeois, a federation of stud-books. [3] In 1999 it was dissolved and the Stud-Book du Cheval de Selle Luxembourgeois was established as an independent non-profit organisation. [3] [4]
