Purebred Spanish Horse

The Purebred Spanish Horse, originating from Andalusia, is an ancient horse breed renowned for its elegance, power and agility. Its morphology, with a strong neck and supple limbs, gives it great freedom of movement and makes it particularly well suited to classical dressage. Surprisingly, its bloodlines were preserved for centuries by Carthusian monks in Spain, and this breed has influenced several other prestigious horses, such as the Lipizzan.
