No, not all horses have manes. Some horse breeds, such as the Akhal-Teke and the Andalusian, are known for having less prominent or even absent manes.
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.
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.
"Horses are not totally colorblind, but they do not see the range of colors we see. There are two kinds of photoreceptors in the eye that allows animals to see colors: cones and rods. Rods allow them to see in low light conditions and cones are sensitive to color. Horses have just two types of cones, whereas humans have three. Reducing the number to two greatly reduces the number of colors horses see. They see mostly in the yellow, brown, and gray ranges."yes they can
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.
Andalusian horses (and not all of those) are PRE Andalusian.
Andalusian's are considered rare as there are less than 20,000 registered horses.

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.
