Please show us your best Andalusian Horse Reference Images - PLEASE DO NOT POST LUSITANOS!

    What makes a good reference photo? Images should have:

    -Bright, clear lighting, without overly dark shadows
    -Be side-on shots with the photo taken square to the shoulder, like the current images in the game.
    -Be good examples of the breed type.
    -Show as much of the horse as possible, tall grass hides a lot of leg details.
    -Bonus if we can clearly see at least some of each leg.
    -Limited, or ideally no tack at all.
    -PLEASE DO NOT POST LUSITANOS!

    -In addition to the nice square on body shots if you have an image of a body part (like a head, mane, tail etc.) that you think is particularly nice feel free to share it, including the reason you are sharing, but we need square full body shots more than anything. The body part in question should be clearly labeled and must STILL be square to the camera. We can't use the images otherwise.

    We need adult horses AND foal images.

    Please don't share images of "pretty horses" that do not fit what is outlined above. It bogs things down and makes it harder on us.

    Not all are Andalusian, but I went with Spanish types instead, since they are close in type. I was unable to share image links from this site, but there are lot of examples of spanish horses that I think are quite stunning on this site.

    The roman nose and elegant muscular neck are key features for me

    Fiddler we need to use real images not models or video game horses.

    I also am only looking for Andalusians right now. The Lusitano is not the same breed.

    Also, it makes a lot of extra work for us if the images are not posted directly. Remember we have to look at these pages dozens of times while picking references.

    @RKO The first head profile photo, the first foal, and the last horse, the dark grey are lusitanos. I think Ammit may add lusitanos a bit later?

    The head and roman nose is very typical of lusitano, PREs have a straighter profile, and sometimes even slightly concave profile.
    The last photo, the dark grey is actually a young lusitano I had for sale last year :))

    @Herzeloyde Thank you for the tip, I found most of the photos shown from Andalusian farm ads, the one foal may be a Lusi (it has the body type of an andy) but to me these two breeds are very similar. I go to a lot of horse shows and I have seen Andys that had a roman nose to them and I have seen Lusis that have a more straight profile. I think it depends on the bloodline of the horse in question. Like so many animals bred by humans, they were probably interbred with each other until they were not, but I will try to find better Andy photos, I just look at horse farm ads. That photo I really liked, You have nice horses.

    Individual variations is of course possible, and PREs (technically there is no such breed as an "andalusian", the name of the Spanish breed is PRE = Pura Raza Española = "pure breed spanish horse"). "Andalusian" can be any horse from the Andalucia region in Southern Spain, anything from ponies to lusitanos or drafts. It is the same as an "American horse" would be any horse from America.

    Lusitanos and PREs are very different, and bred for different purposes, but the confusion is because a lot of foreign sources just use the colloquial "Iberian horse" or mix up photos and horses and call everything "Andalusian". The stud book was shared for a short time, but split up many years ago.

    We can agree on that, I do know that the two breeds' stud books separated and the PRE designation (to me anyway) has only started to be used for a type of Andalusian horse - I think they went back in the pedigree of the PRE horses to find the oldest bloodline and so the PRE designation was used for a very old line of Andalusian breed of horse. Yes most of the horses from Spain were most likely all called Iberian horse or Andalusian horse. Isn't Horse history is fun :)

    I put some big caps to hopefully make sure people see that we are only looking for PREs. So many people like Lusitanos (I prefer them over PREs) that I have no doubt they will be added in the next few years.

    @Ammit thank you, feel free to remove any of my photo that you feel is not helpful. I love the look of the Lusitano horse too.

    I also am running some google image searches on some images that look more like a Lusitanio than a PRE and removing those as I see. It will just help prevent confusion later when I am sitting down with Jenx to go over these. Thanks for understanding.

    ETA: Thanks RKO, you gound some great ones. Just a lot of very badly labeled images out there. Thankfully we have an expert to help us sus out the correct breed.

    Ammit, I really like the type on the ones that you posted.

    Edit:
    I went to google to see if I had anything that I wanted to contribute, but the ones I liked best were the same ones that you posted lol

    I tried to dig a little to make sure these are actually the right type of horse but I'm not an expert.

    This looks like a good square side shot to me.

    I think it's already been posted but the head and neck on this one look particularly good.

    The mane on this one is a nice example, even though it's in the way of some of the body.

    The legs and hooves on these next two show well.
