The Warlander is a crossbreed produced by crossing Friesian horses with horses of a purebred registered Iberian horse breed such as the Andalusian, Lusitano, or Menorquín.[1]

For much of the sixteenth century, the Low Countries were under Spanish rule; Iberian horses brought there from Spain may have influenced the development of local horse types including the Friesian.[2]:89

The Classical Sporthorse Stud in Western Australia named the breed after their association with veterinarian Warwick Vale in the late twentieth century.[3][4]

The Warlander is not listed by the Universal Equine Life Number foundation.[5] A bred standard is published by the Bayerischer Zuchtverband für Kleinpferde und Spezialpferderassen, which has a UELN number.[6][7] [dubious discuss]
