Hispano-Bretón

The Hispano-Bretón is a Spanish breed of draught horse, reared principally for horse-meat. It results from cross-breeding of imported Breton horses with native Pura Raza Española stock. It is distributed mainly in two separate areas of northern Spain: Castile and León and parts of neighbouring Cantabria; and the Pyrenees of Catalonia. It is listed in the Catálogo Oficial de Razas de Ganado de España in the group of autochthonous breeds in danger of extinction. It is one of the four heavy horse breeds of Spain which together constitute approximately 90% of all horses slaughtered for horse-meat; the others are the Jaca Navarra, the Burguete and the Pirinenc Català.

It originates in Spain. These facts are recorded in Wikidata, which catalogues the breed under item Q3816660.
