These were tough Iberian breeds, bred for robustness and adaptability. Not only did they need to survive the Atlantic crossing, but they were also expected to adapt to foreign and extreme climates of the Americas. <\/p>\n<p>In the mid 20th century, a group of piebald mares with pinto patterns were brought together in the Manicaragua region. Piebald <a href=\"\/breeds\/quarter-horse\">Quarter Horse<\/a> blood was introduced to improve the stock and the breeding program continued using Quarter Horses, <a href=\"\/breeds\/american-thoroughbred\">Thoroughbred<\/a> and <a href=\"\/breeds\/criollo\">Criollo<\/a> animals. In genetics, they are similar to the <a href=\"\/breeds\/american-paint\">American Paint breed<\/a>, but in conformation they are more Iberian. <\/p>\n<h3>Piebald Terminology<\/h3>\n<p>Generally considered an old term, <a href=\"\/colors\/white-patterns\/pinto\/piebald\">piebald<\/a> is a pinto white pattern on a black base (chestnuts are called <a href=\"\/colors\/white-patterns\/pinto\/skewbald\">skewbald<\/a> and bays\/browns are called <a href=\"\/colors\/white-patterns\/pinto\/tricolor\">tricolor<\/a>). <\/p>\n<h3>Features<\/h3>\n<p>Average height 14.2-15 hands<\/p>\n<h3>Physique<\/h3>\n<p>Head has a straight or slightly convex profile<br \/>\nForehead is broad<br \/>\nNeck is medium<br \/>\nCroup is sloping<br \/>\nLegs are strong with solid joints<\/p>\n<p>It is a small, docile saddle horse that is agile and enduring. <\/p>\n<p>It is a small, robust horse breed mainly raised in the province of Santa Clara by the Guajiro people, or Wayuu, who live mainly from weaving and agriculture. <\/p>\n<h3>Traditional Colors:<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"h\/colors\/base\/black\">Black<\/a> with <a href=\"\/colors\/white-patterns\/pinto\/tobiano\">tobiano<\/a> or <a href=\"\/colors\/white-patterns\/pinto\/frame\">overo<\/a> pinto patterns. <\/p>\n<h3>Temperament<\/h3>\n<p>Calm and brave<br \/>\nIntelligent and loyal<\/p>\n<h3>Use<\/h3>\n<p>Cow horse<br \/>\nRiding<br \/>\nTourism<br \/>\nTransportation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Intro The Cuban Pie horse is not an official breed and is perhaps considered a strain of the Cuban Pinto.
