The Spanish Colonial Horse is the remnant of the once vast population of horses in the USA.  The ancestors of these horses were instrumental in the ability of the Spanish Conquistadors to conquer the native civilizations.  The source of the original horses was Spain, at a time when the Spanish horse was being widely used for improvement of horse breeding throughout Europe.

Colonial Spanish Horses are of great historic importance in the New World, and are one of only a very few genetically unique horse breeds worldwide.  They have both local and global importance for genetic conservation.  They are sensible, capable mounts that have for too long been relegated a very peripheral role in North American horse breeding and horse using.  Great beauty, athletic ability, and historic importance makes this breed a very significant part of our heritage.

These horses are a direct remnant of the horses of the Golden Age of Spain, which type is now mostly or wholly extinct in Spain.  Colonial Spanish Horses are therefore a treasure chest of genetic wealth from a time long gone.  These are beautiful and capable horses from a genetic pool that affected horse breeding throughout the world five centuries ago, yet today they have become quite rare and undervalued.
