A Spanish horse is technically a horse born in Spain, or of Spanish decent. This term is perhaps too general. All Andalusian horses are "Spanish" or Spanish-type horses. This is probably the type of horse history books refer to as "Spanish" brought to the Americas by Heran Cortez. The Andalusian horse is a very old, recognized, breed of horse with characteristics such as an arched neck, short bodies, measuring around 15-17hh. etc. Depending on the context, they may or may not be the same.

What is the differences between the Andalusian Horse and the Spanish Horse?

The Andalusian is a Spanish Horse... Are you meaning another Spanish breed? Additional Info: Yes and No, I don't mean another breed of horse, that is the breeds name,"Spanish Horse". The Andalusian Horse is not considered a pure breed by the Spanish Horse Registery, they believe it to be of mixed blood. Yet in other countries, such as the United States the Andalusian Horse is often used to describe the same horse, or one so similar as to be impossible to tell without papers. (even then there are questions concerning the "truth" of these papers) due to the age of the records of breedings and births. But, I've read that there are two listings for registering these animals in the US one for a Spanish Horse and another for Andalusian Horse. But I understand that the Spanish Horse communtiy will not accept this. It seems that a serious debate has been brewing about the hertiage of these wonderful animals. What is, if any, the differences between these horses? I'm not 100% sure if there is such breed "Spanish Horse". I have done alot of looking around but, cannot find anything apart from the Andalusian horse.


What breed of horse does pablo hermoso de mendoza use?

As in most "Rejoneadores" Pable de Mendoza uses Lusitano or Andalusian horses, or a cross of the two breeds, although distinct, very much same tree. The purebred Andalusian registry consists of one stud book and one breed. The Andalusian is the historical horse of the Iberian Peninsula dating back 25,000 years. The IALHA Purebred Andalusian registry accepts the three bloodlines known today as Spanish or Caballo Pura Raza Española (PRE), Portuguese or Cavalo Puro Sangue Lusitano (PSL), and a union of both known as the Spanish/Portuguese (S/P) for registry as an Andalusian. The (S) designation within the IALHA indicates a Purebred Andalusian whose ancestry traces strictly to the Spanish Stud Book, where they are called PRE. The (P) designation within the IALHA indicates a Purebred Andalusian whose ancestry traces strictly to the Portuguese Stud Book, where they are called Lusitano. The (S/P) designation within the IALHA indicates a Purebred Andalusian whose ancestry traces to both the Spanish and Portuguese Stud Books.
