Breed History
Originally from the southwest of France, the Anglo-Arab is a breed resulting from the cross between the English Thoroughbred for its speed, the Arabian Thoroughbred for the quality of its blood, and native mares. Created during the second half of the 19th century in Limousin and around Tarbes and Pau, the Anglo-Arab has evolved thanks to a strict selection policy led by the French National Stud Farms.
Initially designed for military purposes, the Anglo-Arab then evolved on racetracks and in the luxury sector before being oriented towards the sports field during the 20th century. He also brought his blood to many races, such as the KWPN and the Oldenburg, to bring them his elegance and vigor.
