There are two recognised foundation breeds that come from the Iberian Peninsula - the PRE and the PSL,( Pura Sangue Lusitano,) from Portugal. The Andalusian is not a breed - it is a 'type' - and a term applied generally by people when referring to horses from the Iberian Peninsula.

Also coming from the Spanish ancestry are Aztecas, Spanish Norman horses and the mustangs, as well as genetically researched herds such as the Shackleford Banks horses, the oldest documented horse population in North America who are shown to have descended directly from the spanish horses.

What is the temperament of a andalusian?
They are extremely intelligent, willing, brave, and passionate horses. They are more likely to stand and face danger than run away from it, which is why they are so good at bull fighting.

They tend to love people and socializing, and they thrive on positive reinforcement training. They are very emotional horses, and can become extremely upset when admonished, so positive reinforcement and a calm and steady hand are the key to successfully training an Andalusian.

Who introduced horses to America?
The first horses to arrive in the Americas came aboard ship with the Spanish Conquistadors of the very late fifteenth and the sixteenth centuries. These were largely pure-bred Spanish horses of breeds such as the Andalusian, Jennet, and Barb. The mustangs of the American West are descended from horses that escaped captivity, or were turned loose by Spanish settlers. Over the last century and a half, they have inter-bred with horses escaped from and released by Anglo settlers, and their breed diluted. Purer forms of the Spanish horses exist still in the stock of Caribbean Paso Fino horses, Latin American Criollo horses, and especially in the refined Peruvian Paso horses found in Peru, and increasingly imported and bred in the USA.
