The Hispano-Árabe is a Spanish horse breed originating from the cross-breeding of Arab and Andalusian horses.

History

The Hispano-Árabe has been bred in Andalusia since about 1800. The current breed standard was published in 2002, and modified in 2005.{{r|mapama}} Since 2008 the stud book has been held by the breeders' association, the Union Española de Ganaderos de Pura Raza Hispano-Árabe (UEGHá).{{r|uegha}} At the end of 2010, a total of 5835 horses were registered, of which approximately 60% were in Andalusia. The breed is considered a "Raza Autóctona en Peligro de Extinción", or autochthonous breed in danger of extinction.{{r|mapama}}

Hispano-Árabe horses can also be registered with the Andalusian Horse Association of Australasia and with the British Association for the Pura Raza Hispano-Árabe.{{r|baphra|ahaa}}

Characteristics

The Hispano-Árabe is well-proportioned and harmoniously made, with a slender outline and light movements. Due to the origins of the breed, there is considerable variation in appearance, which however does not in itself constitute a reason for disqualification from registration.{{r|min}} It is usually either grey or dark-coloured.{{r|cabi|page=472}}

Males average {{convert|158|cm|hands|lk=out|abbr=in}} at the withers and {{convert|450|kg|abbr=on}} in weight; females average {{nobreak|155 cm}} and {{nobreak|400 kg}}.{{r|fao}}

Uses

The Hispano-Árabe is a saddle-horse, suitable for equestrian sports such as acoso y derribo, show-jumping, dressage, cross-country, endurance and TREC; as a working horse for doma vaquera and herding, its traditional use; and for trekking and group sports.{{r|mapama2|baphra}}
