## Breed History

Andalusians:

Used to be known as the Spanish horse, having originated in Southern Spain, it was a cross between North African Barbs and native Spanish ponies. It was constantly taken as part of the spoils of war and used in many countries to improve characteristics of their native horses. It was brought over to America in the 1500s. It mostly survived due to the Spanish monks taking in and protecting the very best of the bloodlines in European monasteries. They were said to have great spirit but were also extremely gentle and loving. They had powerful legs, making them ideal for bullfights.
