Andalusian horses are one of the greatest ancient breeds. They originated in
the Iberian Peninsula in the region of Andalusia. Though Andalusian horses were
well spread in other regions as well, the breed was named after this very province.
The history of the Andalusian horse can be traced with the help of drawings
and other documented evidence.
The Romans and Greek valued this breed greatly. The Andalusian Horse was used
as a warhorse, which is confirmed by ancient carvings and other sources. In
fact, some paintings depicting the Andalusian horse are dated as being 20,000
years old. Even today, one cannot but admire the breed's beauty, intelligence,
and courage. |
