Intro
This is a relatively new breed achieved by crossing the high energy Arabians with the noble Andalusians in equal parts, creating a beautiful, intelligent & versatile cross. Not to be confused with the Hispano Arabe which includes thoroughbred bloodlines as well.
Origins
The Aralusian has been bred in Andalusia, Spain since 1800, although the current breed standard wasn’t published until 2002 (& has since been modified). The breed standard is beautiful with high action, notable athletic ability & fine confirmation. The Aralusian is animated & spirited with the strong Arabian motion & the presence of the Andalusian.
Low Numbers
The registry for the Aralusian horse is very small & about 60% of them are found in Andalusia. A more handsome & well-matched cross may not be possible, but their numbers don’t reflect this.
Physique
Due to the different bloodlines, there are not distinct physical characteristics to define the breed.
Well-proportioned & harmoniously made.
Mane & tail are long & flowing in both breeds.
