Spanish Purebred

Linked with the history and culture of Andalusia, the billowing mane, charisma, and unmistakable beauty of the Pura Raza Española, or Pure Spanish Horse, is the calling card for a breed dating back as far as 2500 B.C. War horse of the Romans, the P.R.E.’s agile, fluid movement gained him popularity among European courts and equestrian academies in the 15th to 18th centuries. The Spanish closed their studbooks to Portugal in 1912, choosing the name P.R.E. instead of “Andalusian.” Today they are recognized for their presence, agility and high stepping action with a very docile temperament.
