About the Spanish Breed
.When the Saracens invaded Spain they brought
with them a large number of Barb and Arab horses, which in consequence
greatly improved the native stock. The crossing of Spanish horses
with Barbs and Arabs resulted in the Spanish Jennet, famous
for its beauty, great docility and obedience. Their main characteristics
were a great width of breast, powerful shoulders, roman noses,
long arched neck with full and flowing mane, goose rumps, and
rather extravagant high action so much appreciated later on
in the Vienna School, where they excelled at the traditional
‘artificial airs’.
This proud, showy action and splendid appearance recommended
them for studs in Austria and Italy, where special breeds were
created such as Kladruber, Lipizzaner and the Neapolitan horse,
which was used for parades.
The Spanish Jennet described by Berenger as “docile and
affectionate to man yet full of spirit and courage” deserved
the highest praise from the Duke of Newcastle in ‘A New
Method and Extraordinary Invention to Dress Horse’ (1667):
‘If well chosen, is the noblest horse in the world…the
most beautiful that can be, for he is not so thin and lady-like
as the Barb, nor so gross as the Neapolitan. He is of great
spirit and of great courage and docile, hath the proudest walk,
the proudest trot and the best action in his trot; the loftiest
gallop, the swiftest careers and is the lovingest and gentlest
horse and fittest of all for a King in day of Triumph…much
more intelligent than even the best Italian horses, and for
that reason the easiest dressed, because they observe too much
with their eyes, and their memories are too good.
They made “absolutely the best stallions in the world
to breed horses for War, Ménage, Ambling pad-horses,
and for running horses.”
The best Spanish Jennets were bred in the Spanish Royal Stud
at Cordova and are supposed to descend from the Barb stallion
called ‘The Cusman” and Andalusian mares.
Later, the Spanish horses degenerated considerably, except the
Andalusian breed, which goes back to the Middle Ages and carries
much Arabian and Bard blood, and which in the past provided
a large proportion of army remounts. Today the most important
stud in Spain is at Jerez, where are bred ‘warm-blood’
horses.
