Intro<\/h3>\n

The Spanish Norman horse is a very rare breed and crosses the blood of Andalusian<\/a> animals of Spain with that of the Percheron<\/a> of France.
\n<\/p>\n

Origins<\/h3>\n

This breed was developed in an attempt to re-create the mighty war horses of Europe in size and characteristics. The Spanish-Norman Horse Registry was established in 1991 to record and preserve this unique animal that shares the noble attitude of Andalusians and the robust size & power of the Percheron. <\/p>\n
