Intro
Also called the Hispano-Arabe, 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.
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.
