Andalusian/Carthusian:
Proto-Oriental/Andalusian, substantial trotting and galloping horses used for war, mounted games, and racing. These horses were close-coupled and round-bodied, and came in all colors. Francisco Goya painted many pictures of the Royals and the Royal Soldiers on their colorful steeds. Many Statues throughout Europe demonstrate the partnership between famous leaders and their noble mounts.
Ambler-Gaited type, small but substantial. These horses were a short back, rounded croup, arched neck, and full mane and tail. Prized for their docility, courage, and easy gaits. Noted for being a smooth riding equitation mount.
Coaser type sometimes gaited and affordable by the peasantry. Later mixed with the Moor’s Barb and influenced by the Sorria. Swift, agile, hardy.
These horses were the foundation for exploration, development of the Mission Chain, Military, Maritime trade, Ranching, Agriculture/Farming, transportation, games, sport, hunting and became a pivotal part of Native American culture.
