Endurance Rider: “The Padre on Horseback”, the First Breeder of Horses of the region
” The Barb horse was the most desired horse breed by European royalty and was the “horse” of Carthage, Rome, Muslim and Christian Spain and also “the horse” of Native People and cowboys of the American West. The Barb is called the Spanish horse, the Spanish colonial horse, Indian pony and the wild mustang. The Lippizaners of Austria are cousins to the Barb.”
