Known as "the horses of pure Spanish breed, " Andalusians established their reputation during the Baroque era when they were sought after by all the royal courts of Europe as the ideal parade and carriage horse. Today they are valued throughout the world for their elegance and strength -- qualities put to use by both Spanish caballeros and sophisticated haute ecole riders.
