the Andalusian originated in Spain and is believed to be the direct descendant of the Spanish horse, and reigned for centuries throughout the known world as the embodiment of perfection in horseflesh. And has beenhighly regarded since the middle ages, during wich time it was a favored mount for nobles and knights.

the andalusion has a very distinguished appearence, they are usually white( gray), but do come in bay( brown body with black mane, tail and points).



theyhaveexcellent proportions, and stand at about 15.2 hands(62 in.) high.themane and tail are thick and wavy. it has a slightly convex nose, small alert ears, and it's heead is set on a thick curvy neck. the chest is large with lots of depth, the quarters are lean, and the legs trim and quick.



today the andalusian's physical appearence and flashy action make it one of the world's most desirable riding horses. and it's great ability to learn and superb temperment make it a great family(as well as show) horse.
