Andalusian

The Andalusian is a breed of horse originating from the Iberian Peninsula, particularly Spain. Known for its elegance, strength, and agility, it has a history rooted in noble and military use. The breed features a compact, powerful build with a proud carriage, often displaying a high-stepping gait called the "paso," especially in the Andalusian or "Pure Spanish" variety. Renowned for their intelligence, trainability, and versatility, Andalusians are used in classical dressage, show riding, and even as working horses. Their striking appearance and rich heritage make them highly valued in equestrian circles worldwide.
