The Azteca is a modern horse breed combining Iberian horse blood and American Quarter Horse or Criollo (horse) blood (international Registry) or Iberian horse blood and American Quarter Horse blood (Amercian Registry). The horses are very good at all sports which require agility, power, spirit, strength, and speed. This includes classical riding, dressage, bull fighting, cutting, reining, team penning, polo, pleasure riding, and driving. Strict breeding codes ensure the success of the breed. The crossbreedings have been scientifically researched to combine only the best of each breed. The horses are inspected twice in their lives: at seven months to obtain a birth certificate, and again at three years of age, to get their registration certificate as breeding stock. The registry attaches the letters A, B, C, D, E, and F to their horses as identification as to their proportions of each breed. The letters are only used for breeding purposes to help the breeders choose horses to produce offspring that are no more than 3/4 Andalusian or Quarter Horse. The "A" level is the most desirable. |
