Hispano

Origins

Also called The Hispano Arabe & the Spanish Anglo-Arabian, the Hispano is 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.
