Horse Breeds From Around the World
This page explores the diversity of the horse — how its shape, size, and purpose change across landscapes, climates, and cultures.
From desert-bred Arabians to thick-coated Icelandic ponies, from the precision of the Akhal-Teke to the quiet power of the Shire, each breed tells a story about the people and places that shaped it.
It’s not just about what these horses look like.
It’s about why they are the way they are — and what that says about the world they come from.
Falabella: The World's Tiniest Horse with a Grand Story
Miniature in size, monumental in story—the Falabella is a reminder that not all horses need to be ridden to leave a mark. Sometimes, they just need to be seen, understood, and celebrated.
The Andalusian Horse: Spain’s Noble Soul
Graceful, powerful, and impossibly elegant — the Andalusian horse, or Pura Raza Española (PRE), is a living symbol of Spain’s spirit. Born from centuries of cultural convergence and refined through generations of royal breeding, the Andalusian is more than a horse. It is art in motion, tradition in muscle and bone, and the proud heartbeat of Andalusia itself.

Among them, one breed stands apart: the Marwari. With its distinctive inward-curving ears and deeply rooted history, the Marwari has carried warriors, crossed battlefields, and endured shifting cultural tides while remaining central to India’s equine identity.
