Origins
Also called the Spanish Anglo-Arabian, Hispano Arabe horses are a cross between Arabian, Andalusian & English Thoroughbred bloodlines. These are three of the oldest and most prolific bloodlines on the planet which earned them the nickname of tres sangres (three blood).
The Hispano is known for their keen courage and used to test potential bulls for the ring. Desired animals have Arabian features, Thoroughbred quality and Andalusian temperament.
