Andalusia Horse

There are few horses that command a greater presence than the beautiful Andalusian Horse. Standing an average of 15.2 to 16.2 hands high, he is solidly built, yet has a distinctive elegance and fluidity in his movements. The stallions in particular, have a prominent crest to their neck and a handsome long flowing mane and tail, the mane often reaching to their knees or lower. Their backs are short and strong, the croup round with a low set tail. The Andalusian Horse should be proud, willing and strong, yet with a docile demeaner.

The majority of Andalusian Horses are gray (80%), another 15% are bay and the remainder come in black, dun or palomino.

The Andalusian Horse generally has a very docile and willing temperament. Andalusian Stallions are easily trained and learn quickly under a kind and understanding hand. Today, the Andalusian is used for a variety of events and especially excels in dressage, driving, jumping, english and western pleasure, and of course stands out as a parade and exhibition horse.
