Intro
The Mangalarga Pulista is a breed that was developed from the Mangalarga Marchador breed in Brazil, so their history is virtually the same.
Origins
The Marchador breed was developed initially and some of them were crossed with Thoroughbred and Anglo-Arabian animals. The result of these specific crosses produced a handsome animal, but one that didn’t always possess the smooth gaits characteristic of the Marchador. The breed is very rare and considered endangered, according to the DAD-IS as of 2022 there are 3561.
