Tema: History of the Andalusian Horse

I appreciate that this site is not specifically dedicated to the horse; but at the moment you are my most direct link into Spain to help me with my research and project to promote a better knowledge of the Hispano-Arabe horse.
Here in the Uk despite the Cria Caballar working to promote the breed for nearly 30 years it has sadly been doing this under the oppresion of the organisation solely set up to promote the PRE. So now we; the Hispano-Arabe owners/breeders are at last on our path to independant representation Hispano-Árabe UK Ltd Home page.
The biggest problem for the promotion of this breed has been the availability of correct information outside of Spain; hence world wide this fabulous horse while having many fans does not actually have definative information readily available to correctly promote it. I have for some time spent hours translating Spanish articles wherever I can find them to provide information about these horses and hopefully raise public interest.
Your article/forum discussion here talks about the founding of the Lippizaners and the Dancing Horses of Andalusia but I would be grateful for any specific information clarifying the eexact breeding of the Spanish mares sent from Jerez that founded the School in Vienna...European records only refer to them as Spanish horses but some data I have come across from Spain specifically identifies these original horses as being Hispano-Arabe?
The Real Escuela Andaluza de Arte Escuestre publicises its Dancing Horses and in some visitor forum write ups I find reference to the horses ALL being "Carthusian Hispano-Arabe", however the school itself does not anywhere that I so far can find specifically make any mention of the horses used being Hispano-Arabe.
Can anyone please help clarify the actual facts regarding the Dancing horses; both those in the past sent to Vienna and those dancing their hearts out in Jerez today. I would love very much to be able to include in my next articles about the Hispano-Arabe horse the role they play in Dancing for Spain in these two establishments if the true facts can be sourced.
Obviously any other information regarding this breed would be greatly appreciated to help in furthering a better world understanding and promotion of them.
