In 1931 Tori Horse Breeding Farm started to develop Eston-Arden horses that was interrupted by the World War 2. They were developed from a cross of Estonian Native horses and Swedish Ardennes and officially recognized by the Estonian government in 1953. The breed was acknowledged as pure-bred at the end of 1960s. When Estonia regained its independence, the breeding of Eston-Arden horses was taken over by private farms. The number of breeding horses was critically low. Estonian Horse Breeders' Society continues keeping the studbook of Eston-Arden horses and organizes their breeding.
