Baroque horses
Baroque horses are a group of horse breeds developed in the 17th and 18th centuries for their impressive presence, strong build, and elegant movement. They typically have a robust, muscular body, a graceful arched neck, and a expressive head with a straight or slightly convex profile. Originating from European breeds like the Andalusian and Lusitano, they are known for their agility, athleticism, and willingness to work. Historically used in classical dressage, driving, and ceremonial roles, Baroque horses are valued for their striking appearance and versatility, embodying a blend of strength and elegance that has made them popular in classical horsemanship and modern sport.
