The Calabrese is an Italian breed of horse which
has developed over the past two thousand years,
originally in Calabria in southern Spain, hence its
name. The Calabrese horse stands between
15.3 and 16.2 hands high and can be grey, bay,
chestnut, brown or black in color. They have refined
heads and a straight or somewhat
convex profile. The Calabrese is used as a general purpose riding horse,
being of a calm and manageable nature with an energetic,
active manner about it.
