The Sardinian Anglo-Arab originates
from the island of Sardinia, and stems from the small, wiry local
animals that were crossed with Arabians. Imported Iberian blood
was introduced in the 16th century; and in the 20th century Arabian
and Thoroughbred blood further improved the breed. There are several
different types, ranging from small to large. They range in size
from 15.1 hh and 16.1 hh. The Sardinian Anglo-Arab is known for
being hardy and fast with good endurance and jumping ability. It
has an even temperament; any solid color can occur in this breed.
