It's not really that they are going extinct, but rather the Spanish culture is trying to preserve the integrity of the bloodlines. We had a stallion that had been imported from Spain right before they started to restrict imports and deports. If I remember correctly, an Andalusian needs to be very pure in the sense that gernerations back were pure as well in order to be papered as one. Same with the Fresians. The problem was, I believe, that people were breeding them with other breeds to create a horse that had different/better characteristics for their needs. Such as Morgan/Andalsian, Arab/Andalusian ect. These offspring look very similar to the Andalusian, but would carry characteristics of the different breed.
