Aragonesa Horse

Intro

Never considered an official breed, the Aragonesa was a massive Spanish draft breed largely influenced by the blood of Percheron, Breton and Ardennes.

Origins

Originally only bred in the Autonomous Community of Aragon, they were a well-built type but one that wasn’t able to breed true, apart from their massive size. This lack of reliable breeding for type led the programs to be abandoned. Today the type is extinct.
