Purpose Group Pleasure Horse

Ridden horses of the PRE are stallions - even children ride them. If you are offered an andalusian gelding, it may well not be a Purebred spanish horse. Spanish mares are almost always kept for breeding.

One notable ridden spanish mare I know is a big, beautiful grey owned by a friend who is a leading practitioner of garrocha - the work with the long pole and cattle.

She was his best horse for a long time, and watching them flow together was reminiscent of the intuitive horsemastership of the rejoneadores in the bullring.

He is one who loves his horses and lives for his riding, and it shone out of their partnership. The mare would twist and turn, snip sideways, speed up and slow at what appeared to be no more than a thought from him.

He never tires of praising her, and whenever we visited we could be sure of a literal step by step description of how she had moved, thought, reacted as they galloped in the fields. .

She is now wandering peacefully around those same fields, with her second or third foal at foot, and he sits easily on a short-tailed jaca, his garrocha resting at his side, watching her and smiling.
