The Hispano-Arabe is the result of breeding a purebred, registered
Andalusian to a purebred, registered Arabian. This
Andalusian-Arabian cross ideally produces an intelligent,
level-headed, bold-moving horse of superb quality and presence.
The refinement of the Arabian head carries through; the neck is
long, muscular, and well arched, a contribution from the Andalusian.
The shapely withers ensure good saddle placement. The body is full
and strong with a large chest, deep and muscled with great depth
through the heart girth. Also inherited from the Andalusian, the
Hispano-Arabe exhibits a solid foundation of ample, extremely dense
bone, and well shaped hooves which are extremely strong.
The combination of beauty, along with brilliant, floating action from
the Arabian, and the strength, power, and elegance of the
Andalusian can only be described as breathtaking.
The Hispano-Arabe has been a long-lived and respected breed in
Europe, where it is a popular dressage and pleasure mount, prized
for its athletic ability, gentle temperament and regal bearing.
