Athough the commonly used term is 'Andalusian', there is no breed registry for an andalusian in Spain or Portugal, or indeed anywhere except America. The two breeds of the Iberian peninsula are the Pura Raza Española - the Pure Breed Spanish horse; and the Pura Sangue Lusitano - the Lusitano of Portugal.
Both these breeds have National Stud Books which are carefully kept and regulated.(see link below).
The following statement is not my contribution
andalusian horses : Native to the Iberian PeninsulaSpain's most popular breed is the Andalusian (pronounced An-dal-oo-sian). The andalusian is believed to be a desendent of the now extinct spanish jennet.The earliest record of the breed was in 740 AD. Around that time, the moor invation of Spain took place, and with the moors came there horses(mostly Barbs,a cousin of the Arabian) the moors horses were nothing pretty to look at and certainly a nasty temperment. Being raised in semi-desert conditions for centurys, the barb was built for speed,swiftness and being able to adapt as the weather changed each season.After this out-cross, a strong,fast animal emerged. Bull-fighting emerged as a popular sport and the moorish horses were a terrible mount. One trainer bred a pure breed stallion to the Spanish cross. The result was a faster,taller and not to mention less high-strung horses capable of working on small farms and a reliable mount for bull-fighting. Today, some andalusians are still used for the traditional sports,but most are used for dressage,trail and driveing.Spain's olympic team is comprized of only andalusians. Today's andalusian is an average of 15-16hh and the most popular colors are gray,bay,brown and black.Andalusians are a breed of horse, considered to beone of the most beautiful breeds of all horse breeds.

What is the name of an Andalusian horse breed with a quarter horse breed with Criollo horse?
Not too sure what you're asking here. Are you asking what the name of a horse would be if it's got Andalusian, Quarter Horse and Criollo? Well, for one, Criollo isn't exactly a true breed, it's just a colour breed, and if the horse of this mix is not Criollo itself the Criollo part of the equation wouldn't count nor matter. Thus this leaves us with the possibility of saying the horse is an Andalusian-Quarter horse cross. Answer 2: Well in Mexico the cross of Andalusian/Quarter horse & Criollo is called an Azteca. In the USA the cross is Andalusian/Quarter horse or Paint horse and is called an American Azteca.
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.
