About the Andalusian Breed .The Iberian (Spanish) horses were light,
clever and sure-footed. Crossed with the Barb, they became known
as the Andalusian, taking the name of the province in the south
of Spain where they were bred. There were two types, the light
Jennet and the heavier Villanos, but the latter were chiefly
bred in Castille. The Andalusian horse has been further crossed
with French and English blood, but it has retained the Barb
head.
It is a strong-bodied horse, normally having a good front with
a deep body and high strong quarters. Its temperament is excellent.
