The breed originates from northeastern Slovenia and Upper Carniola on the basis of local cold-blooded horses. [6] In historical records it is evident that developing the Slovenian Cold-blood included breeding of multiple other coldbloods (such as Bohinj, Kobarid, Međimurje, Posavje, Alpine horse and others), of which some already went extinct.

The number of horses of the breed was increased by 10.74% in the last four years, from 5,334 in 2008 to 5,907 in 2012.
The Coldblood Trotter has a relatively small and square head with large nostrils. It is well suited for the cold conditions in Scandanivia, and it can develop large amounts of winter hair, having less need for blankets in winter. Compared to the Standardbred it is smaller, heavier, and more compact in build. It is not as fast as the Standardbred.
Additionally, horses with a hind limb lameness will tend to reduce the degree of leg use.

Cold is often applied to the site of injury by hosing cold water onto the area (hydrotherapy), icing, or medical devices such as the Game Ready system that provides both cold therapy and compression. Cold salt-water spas are also available, and are used to bathe a patient's injury in aerated, hypertonic , cold water.
An ectotherm (from the Greek ἐκτός (ektós) "outside" and θερμός (thermós) "heat"), more commonly referred to as a "cold-blooded animal", [1] is an animal in which internal physiological sources of heat, such as blood, are of relatively small or of quite negligible importance in controlling body temperature.
