No wonder it’s unique! The Spanish horse alone has this remarkable genetic heritage: the Jennet + the N.African Barb + the cold-blooded N. European horse + a dash of Arabian blood.

What’s a Jennet? A medieval horse indigenous to the Iberian peninsula—now extinct.

WHAT WE’VE LEARNED BREEDING SPANISH HORSES seemed like a logical place to start. We’ll be exploring different themes relating to these magnificent horses, and we’ll inform you when we begin each new series of posts, with highlights here on Facebook to illustrate each theme.

A favorite poem about the solstice and a horse:
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it q***r
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep
And miles to go before I sleep.

Robert Frost. 1922.

For people working with young horses.

I love this image...

It shows just how vulnerable the young horses’ skeleton is.

Look how long it takes for the lower jaw & poll to mature.

We put bits in young mouths & in some cases force their bodies into an outline way before their skeletons have matured.
