The Hispano Arabian, also known as the Hispano Álabe, is a recognised Spanish horse breed originating from the crossbreeding of the Spanish Purebred (Andalusian) and the Purebred Arabian. Developed mainly in Andalusia and Extremadura, this breed combines the Andalusian’s strength and baroque elegance with the Arabian’s refinement and endurance. Typically standing between 15.1 and 16.1 hands, the Hispano Arabian features a refined head often with a concave profile, an arched neck, and a strong, muscular body. Common coat colours include grey and bay. Known for its intelligence, sensitivity, and willingness to please, the breed is highly trainable and versatile. Its temperament blends the Andalusian's docility with the Arabian's spirited nature, making it suitable for various equestrian disciplines like dressage, show jumping, and endurance riding. The Hispano Arabian is valued both as a sport horse and a leisure companion, making it a prized choice within the UK equestrian community seeking a blend of elegance, athleticism, and reliability.
