The Pure Spanish Horse
You’ve seen him in museums, represented in marble statues and dark, dramatic oils. His proud, heavy neck arches with nobility, and his mane and tail cascade toward the ground. He bears riders whose names are fixtures in human history: El Cid, Hannibal and William the Conqueror. And there are many more.
He was the archetype for the wing-borne Pegasus of Greek myth many centuries ago, and even appeared as a mount in the Homeric ballads. His equine legacy knows no living match—he was present during the fall of Troy, stood by as the Greeks created the cornerstone of our civilization, and served the Romans in their conquest of Europe.
