Andalusian

The Andalusian comes from the sun-baked region of southern spain which is close to to North Africa. While it is without doubt an ancient breed, its origins are uncertain. Whatever native horse existed in spain when the muslim invaders arrived in 711- they might as well have resembled the Primitive Sorrain Pony. The andalusian was taken to the Americas by the sixteenth-century Conquistadores, these spanish horses provided the foundation stock for the majority of new breeds developed by the settlers. thanks to the Andalusians exellent temperment and willing nature this horse is a great all purpose riding horse. Today they help police officers in Barcelona keep everyone safe. There average height is 15hh- 15.2hh, they are mainly found gray, dappled, or bay colored. The Andalusian isnt a particularly tall horse, but its compact body is indicative of exellent strength.
