Horses are not native to Cuba, they were imported by Spanish explorers during the 16th century. Local people up and down the Americas recognized them as a vital tool and snapped them up whenever they could. Over the years horses in the New World with Iberian lineage became collectively called Criollo<\/a>. The Cuban Trotter is a brother to the Criollo that was heavily influenced by them. In addition to Iberian blood, they were likely influenced by Canadian Horse<\/a> blood mid 18th century. Later Morgan<\/a> blood was added for refinement. <\/p>\n Average height 13.8-15 hands<\/p>\n Head has a straight or slightly convex profile Generally black<\/a>, bay<\/a> or brown<\/a><\/p>\n Friendly and well mannered Harness Intro Almost every European country has a trotter (or two) and as it turns out, they transferred their love of trotting to countries throughout Latin America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9607,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[80],"tags":[5,4,118],"class_list":["post-9606","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cuba","tag-bay","tag-black","tag-brown"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9606","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9606"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9606\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9608,"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9606\/revisions\/9608"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9607"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9606"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9606"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theequinest.com\/breeds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9606"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Features<\/h3>\n
