PLEASE HELP AMARANTA FIND HER FRIENDS AND RELATIVES ALL OVER THE WORLD. HELP HER VISIT EQUESTRIAN VENUES....LET'S GET STARTED IN SPAIN....
The Andalusian, also known as the Pure Spanish Horse or PRE (Pura Raza Española), is a horse breed developed in the Iberian Peninsula. Its ancestors have been present on the Iberian Peninsula for thousands of years. The Andalusian has been recognized as an individual breed since the 15th century, and its conformation has changed very little over the centuries. Throughout its history, it has been known for its prowess as a war horse, and was prized by the nobility. The breed was used as a tool of diplomacy by the Spanish government, and kings across Europe rode and owned Spanish horses. During the 19th century, warfare, disease and crossbreeding reduced herd numbers dramatically, and despite some recovery in the late 19th century, the trend continued into the early 20th century. Exports of Andalusians were restricted until the 1960s, but the breed has since spread throughout the world, despite still-low population numbers. As of 2003, there were over 75,000 registered living Andalusians worldwide.
Strongly built, and compact yet elegant, Andalusians have long, thick manes and tails. Their most common coat color is gray, although they can be found in many other colors. They are known for their intelligence, sensitivity and docility. A sub-strain within the breed known as the Carthusian, is considered by breeders to be the purest strain of Andalusian, though there is no genetic evidence for this claim. The strain is still considered separate from the main breed however, and is preferred by breeders because buyers pay more for horses of Carthusian bloodlines. There are several competing registries keeping records of horses designated as Andalusian or PRE, but they differ on their definition of the Andalusian and PRE, the purity of various strains of the breed, and the legalities of stud book ownership. At least one lawsuit is in progress as of 2010 to determine the ownership of the Spanish PRE stud book.

Gee there is not as many Horse Caches has I was hopping for. Swan Lake3 did well placing this TB in Four Horsemen. Hmmmm...... I don't want to keep this TB out of a Geocache while I am looking so I will place it in a Farm Themed Goecache and hope the next Geocacher will do better then me with the quest for Equine Goecaches. I was able to add a few fun photos for this TB to send home.

This Horse was in a TB Hotel at the "Comox Airport" not in "One Spot Trail / Volunteers" with about 8 other TBs. We are sure to find a Horsey Cache for this little Andalusian.
