Spanish Sporthorse horses for sale in London, Greater London

The Spanish Sporthorse is not a distinct breed but a term often used to describe sport horses bred primarily from the Spanish PRE (Pura Raza Española) or Andalusian horse, sometimes crossed with Warmbloods or Arabians. Originating from Spain, these horses combine the noble and athletic qualities of the traditional PRE with improved jumping ability and stamina from sport horse breeds. Physically, they tend to have a compact, baroque build typical of the PRE, with expressive gaits and strong, well-muscled bodies. Their temperament is known for intelligence, trainability, and a willing nature, making them suitable for a range of equestrian sports. The Spanish Sporthorse is particularly well-suited for dressage due to its natural collection and movement, though crosses enhance their suitability for show jumping and eventing as well. UK riders often appreciate them for their versatility, calm yet energetic demeanor, and the cultural heritage they bring to the sport horse arena.
