The Jaca Navarra ({{langx|eu|{{noitalic|Nafarroako zaldiko}}}}), or Navarrese Horse, is a Spanish breed of small horse from the autonomous community of Navarre in the north-eastern part of the country. In 2013 it was listed in the Catálogo Oficial de Razas de Ganado de España in the group of autochthonous breeds in danger of extinction.{{r|mapa}} The total population of the Jaca Navarra has been variously estimated at 350 (in 1999),{{r|itg}} 250 (in 2000),{{r|cañon}} and 240 and decreasing (in 1997).{{r|fao|p=739}} In April 2011 the total population was reported to be 899, all of which were in Navarre.{{r|marm2}} In 2000, and again in 2007, it was listed by the FAO as endangered.{{r|fao|p=739|barb|p2=109}}
A breeders' association, the Asociación de Criadores de Ganado Equino Jaca Navarra, was formed in 1999, and a stud-book opened in 2001.{{r|marm}} The conservation and reference herd kept in semi-feral conditions at the Sabaiza estate contains all but a few examples of the breed.{{r|itg}}
Names
In Spanish, this breed is also known as the Poney Navarro, Caballo Navarro, Caballo Vasco-navarro, Caballito de Andía, Caballito de las Améscoas or Caballito de la Barranca,{{r|itg}} and was in the past also known as Jaca de Montaña, Raza de Pamplona or Raza Pamplonica.{{r|marm}}
The word jaca has an unusual history, from Old Spanish haca, itself from Old French haque, which in turn is ultimately derived from the English place-name Hackney, a place famous for its horses.{{r|rae}}
Use
The Jaca Navarra may be used as a light draught horse. It is reared for meat, and may be used in conservation grazing.{{r|cabi|p=489}}
