Here is some interesting information on the Andalusion Horse:

The Andalusian horse is one of the purest breeds of horses in the world today. It is also known as PRE (Pura Raza Espaņola) in most countries because of the work done by the Spanish studbook in promoting the pure bred horses around the world. It is one of the two sub-breeds of the Iberian horses, and extremely similar to the closely related Lusitano breed.  Andalusians have been used for all manner of riding horses, and were the preferred mount of kings over many centuries. They excel in high school dressage and are used in cattle work and bullfighting in their native Spain. They are highly intelligent and learn very quickly.
