About the Retuerta horse
The Retuerta horse, also known as Caballo de las Retuertas, is a Spanish breed indigenous to Andalusia. The breed is found in Doñana National Park, in the provinces of Huelva and Sevilla. A conservation herd is also kept at the Campanarios de Azaba Biological Reserve in Espeja. Part of that reserve is a research reserve associated with the Spanish National Research Council, known as Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas. These locations are the listed places where Retuerta horses are found. The breed’s regional identity is tied to Andalusia, while the conservation herd provides another location for the horses beyond Doñana National Park. The available description identifies the breed, its Spanish origin and the specific areas where it occurs, but does not give details about its appearance, size, temperament, uses or care needs.
