Also called Siciliano Indigeno and Cavallo Siciliano, the Sicilian Horse is found on the island of Sicily and has an obvious Asian influence in their conformation.
\n <\/p>\n
Native to Sicily, these animals came from crossing local mares with imported stallions, particularly ‘Oriental’ animals (we think that means Arabian<\/a> and Barb<\/a>, but could be Mongolian<\/a> too). Their breeding began in the mid 20th century and a studbook was established in 2024 with 197 animals. <\/p>\n Average height 15.5-15.7 hands<\/p>\n Head has a straight profile Grey<\/a>, bay<\/a>, black<\/a> and brown<\/a> <\/p>\n Calm and tractable <\/p>\n Riding *All links open in a new window<\/small>Features<\/h3>\n
