Carthusian for sale

The Carthusian horse belongs to a prestigious lineage of horses and originated in Spain. It is an old chip of the block and belongs to the oldest line of studs. It is a derivative of the Andalusian breed and one of the purest lineages remaining in the current day equestrian breeds. The Spanish breeders identified the unique structure of the horse and its fine qualities that are ideal for breeding.

The classic characteristics through which a Carthusian can be identified are its horns on the temple. However calling them an Andalusian horse is not allowed by the Spanish Book of studs even though they bear strong resemblance to the former. These horses were also popularly referred to as the Terry or the Boca do horses. The Carthusian is Spain’s pride and even referred to as the “Spanish Caballero” which means a Spanish Gentleman.

Carthusian in particular is a much demanded breed by the Royal Riding School and the riders even tour European countries for various shows. The school which is set up in Vienna has participated in various prestigious competitions and even won using this breed.

The beauty of the Carthusian lies in its well sculpted body and also has been a top model for the most popular sculptors in ancient days. It has a symmetrical body with large head, big eyes and well placed ears. To complement its looks is a well grown muscular body and a long beautiful neck. The most popular colors in this breed are grey and black. The chestnuts were not registered as a breed of lineage in the stud book. Many breeders prefer to strictly preserve the lineage of the horse without causing inter-breeding among other lineages. However some people do prefer interbreeding for a better posture and height among the horses at the same time.
