About The Breed
The Menorquin horse, or Caballo Menorquín, is from the island of Menorca in the Mediterranean. Known for its exclusive black coloring. These horses have played a vital role in the island's culture, where residents ride before they can walk and continue to ride well into old age. The breed is celebrated for its participation in the local fiestas, where horse and rider teams perform impressive displays that are regarded as moments of glory. With origins rooted in the native horses of the region, Menorquin Horses are bred for their versatility, making them ideal for various equestrian activities, including the unique manual dressage practiced on the island. These horses are social creatures raised in a herd environment, which contributes to their friendly disposition and strong character.
