Intro
The Hispano-Árabe or Aralusian is a relatively new breed achieved by crossing the high energy Arabians with the noble Andalusians, creating a beautiful, intelligent and versatile cross.
Origins
The combination of these two mighty bloodlines is nothing new, breeders attempting to extract the endurance and athletic qualities of Arabians, mixed with the temperament and intelligence of Andalusians. The attempt was more than successful, it created an amazing breed which highlights some of the finest aspects of both foundation types.
