The Hispano-Arabe
The Hispano-Arabe is the result of breeding a registered Andalusian to a registered Arabian. This Andalusian-Arabian cross ideally produces an intelligent, level-headed, bold-moving horse of superb quality and presence. The Hispano-Arabe usually ranges between 15 and 16 hands in height. 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 that 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 is incredibly athletic and smooth to ride because of the free shoulder and hip that is inherited from the Andalusian. They have a naturally collected movement with a variation of knee action from high and brilliant to long and flowing. All of this creates a horse that draws immediate attention and is proud to own.

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. Andalusian-Arabian crosses are eligible for admission to the: - Hispano-Arabe Registry - Iberian Warmblood Registry - International Arabian Horse Association as a Half Arabian - International Andalusian Lusitano Horse Association as a Half Andalusian

This enables breeders and owners to exhibit and show their horses in the arena that best suits their breeding program or riding style.
