About the Balearic Breed
.Another ancient breed is to be found in
the island of Majorca, in the Balearics. These horses, which
are most abundant in the Palma district, differ markedly from
all other breeds. Especially characterised by their slender
limbs and free, graceful carriage, they vary in colour from
dark to light brown, and have short, thick and arched necks,
with thick, upright manes, which are often clipped.
The delicate head, with backward directed ears, is distinctly
roman-nosed, and is carried sharply against the short neck when
the animal is galloping. In this respect the Majorcan breed
differs markedly from Algerian and Andalusian horses, which
carry their heads stretched out straight, nearly in the line
of the neck. The Majorcan horses may be compared to those depicted
on ancient vases and Greek coins, and it is believed that they
are the survivors of the ancient type.
This identification, if trustworthy, is of great interest, as
it serves to indicated that the hog-manes of the early Grecian
horses, like those sculptured on the frieze of the Parthenon,
were natural, although, as in the case of the Majorcan breed,
improved by trimming. This seems to be indicative of the affinity
of both breeds to the wild tarpan; and affords further evidence
that the falling manes of modern horses, other than the Arab,
are due to domestication.
It will be appreciated that the Balearic breed is, from the
point of view of the student of horse-breeding, one of exceptional
interest, and even the novice will realise that this is a most
unusual breed.
