Horse cultures can be found in all corners of the globe and it’s important that we preserve them. The onslaught of mechanization during the 20th century redefined our relationship with this noble animal. We want to celebrate all horse cultures of he world, even if we find some of them disagreeable.
Mountain Bred
Andorra is a small independent principality located on the border of Spain and France in the stunning Pyrenees Mountains. This gives them the luxury of access to some pretty amazing bloodlines and the Pyrenees themselves produce hardy animals.
The horses in this area are clearly strong and able mountain horses, used for both work and leisure. The jet black Ariegeois pony is native to the Pyrenees and small herds of fairly untouched bloodlines still exist in and around Andorra today.
Breeds of Andorra
There are no official breeds native to Andorra, however several are found in the mountains nearby. Probably the most commonly found breed in the country is the Ariegeois.
