Hispano-Arab Purebred

It takes its name from the two breeds that originated it: the Spanish and the Arabian. The process of formation of the breed took place mainly in Andalusia, beginning at the time of the Muslim invasion of the Iberian Peninsula, through the crossing of these two breeds. The aim was to obtain an animal that would combine the characteristics of both breeds. From the Arabian horse: its balance, endurance, and athletic qualities and from the Spanish horse: its sobriety, intelligence and learning ability; looking for a versatile horse, very prepared for work, both with short and precise efforts, as well as in those that demand endurance.

The Official Catalogue of Spanish Livestock Breeds includes the Hispano-Arab horse breed in the Group of Autochthonous Breeds in Danger of Extinction.

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS

They are orthoid, eumetric and mesomorphic specimens, with a slender silhouette, a harmonious body, and graceful movements. In general, and due to the origin of the breed, the ethnic characteristics can be very varied, without constituting a reason for disqualification or objection. Conformation characterised by general harmony and clear sporting orientation, graceful silhouette, and distinction.

Pyramidal, medium sized head, straight or slightly convex and broad forehead, medium sized, mobile ears, set wide apart, their tips tending to close together. Eyes rounded, full set and expressive, with marked orbital arches. Face straight or slightly subconcave, jaws with rounded edges and wide space between them, rounded nostrils, with a certain forward projection and thin lips.

Slightly elongated neck, gently arched at the upper edge, well attached to the head and the trunk, with a point of origin above the joints. Trunk strong and deep, with prominent withers and extended back.

Slightly curved back, broad, muscular, and horizontal loin, well attached at front and rear. Croup long, strong, and slightly sloping (with an angle close to 25 degrees). Chest deep, chest elliptical, with gently arched ribs. Flanks broad and belly tucked up.

Limbs in proportion to the length of the body and correctly plumb.

PRODUCTION CHARACTERISTICS AND EXPLOITATION SYSTEMS

This is a riding horse with a particular aptitude for sport, especially for cross-country races and jumping, as well as for the disciplines of classic and cowboy dressage. It is also a horse with a temperament well suited to TREC (Techniques of Equestrian Competition Riding), equestrian marches and group sports.

The combination of the physiological gait endowments of the two parent breeds has given the breed an intermediate form of movement, in which good elevations are associated with wide extensions, without being too pronounced. They are easy to handle and readily get on well with riders and handlers. They can overcome adverse situations without great effort.

GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION

The main area of settlement of the breed corresponds fundamentally to the Autonomous Community of Andalusia; however, the area of dispersion of the breed is considered to be the entire Spanish peninsular territory.
