The Carthusian horse, also known as Cartujano in Spanish, is a bloodline group within the Purebred Spanish horse (PRE). Its lineage can be traced back to 1476, which supports claims that its breed registry is one of the oldest in the world. The Carthusian lineage originates from a gray stallion named Esclavo, who became the property of the Carthusian monks of Andalusia. The monks successfully developed this breeding program, which gained widespread recognition throughout Europe in the 18th century. Morphologically, the Carthusian horse is characterized by a lighter body and a straighter head profile compared to other PRE lines, often exhibiting bony protuberances. The predominant coat color of the Carthusian horse is gray. This breed is commonly utilized in dressage and is well-suited for combined driving. Carthusian breeding is primarily concentrated in its region of origin, Andalusia, particularly around Jerez de la Frontera, Badajoz and Córdoba.

Etymology

The Spanish name for this line, Cartujano, translates into English as Carthusian and into French as Chartreux or Cheval des Chartreux. [1] The Carthusian horse is generally classified as a Purebred Spanish horse (PRE), meaning it is not considered a separate breed but rather a distinguished bloodline within the PRE category. [2] [3]

History

The Carthusian horse is regarded by enthusiasts as a distinguished descendant of the Purebred Spanish horse (PRE), boasting one of the oldest breed registries in the world, with documented lineage tracing back to the 15th century. [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] This lineage has been bred and preserved by Carthusian monks since at least 1476. [9] There was a spiritual dimension to this breeding, as evidenced by an account of the perception of God's face in a horse's eye. [10] These monks exerted a strong influence on horse breeding in their region, [8] and their horses were highly regarded in Christian Europe. [6]

The Yeguada de la Cartuja (Carthusian stud farm), near Jerez, housed over 700 animals in 1700. The Carthusian bloodline was solidified in the early 18th century when brothers Andrés and Diego Zamora acquired a stallion named El Soldado, along with two mares descended from horses purchased by the King of Spain, which had been placed at Aranjuez, one of Spain's oldest stud farms. [5] [4] One of El Soldado's descendants, a dark gray colt named Esclavo, became the founding sire of the lineage. [11] Noted for its qualities during that period, Esclavo was known for its mane and temperament. [5] [12] It has an abundant mane and has an excellent temperament. [12] Notably, he carried what were described as "warts under its tail", which were actually melanomas, and this trait was often seen as proof of descent from Esclavo. [5] [13] Esclavo was sold to Don Pedro Picado in Portugal, [14] but a group of mares he had sired were given to Carthusian monks to settle a debt, around 1736. Other animals from these lineages are absorbed into the main Andalusian breed. [5] The stock given to the monks is bred as a special line, known as the Zamorano. [5] Over the next century, the Carthusian monks fiercely protected this lineage, resisting royal orders to cross their horses with Neapolitan and Central European breeds, although they did introduce Arabian and Barb bloodlines to improve their stock. [2] [4]

Before the Napoleonic Wars, [15] a breeder named Romualdo Carrera bred horses of renown. An emissary of the King of Prussia offered 50, 000 reals in 1803 for the purchase of a stallion born in Jerez. [16] The initial stock of Carthusian horses was considerably depleted during the Spanish War of Independence, leaving only one foal from a Carthusian stallion at the Carrera stud. [17] The lineage would have faced extinction if not for the efforts of the Zapata family, [18] leading to the occasional designation of Carthusian horses as "Zapata horses". [13] In 1835, the convent's stud farm was dissolved, and management of the horses was transferred to the Spanish state and select private breeders. [8] The dissolution of the Carthusian religious order established at the Carthusian monastery in Jerez led to the sale and dispersal of the horses to a number of private breeders in the region. [6]

In the 1980s, Carthusian horses became highly sought after in Spain, commanding high prices. [18] The usage of a horse from the lineage by wine merchant Thomas Terry popularized the name "Terry line" for Carthusian horses. [14]

The Carthusian horse is recognized as a saddle horse [3] that embodies the typical morphology of the Iberian horse. [13] While classified as a line of Purebred Spanish horses (PRE), slight physical differences are noted between Carthusian horses and other PREs. [19] According to a 2007 study by Maurizio Bongianni and the University of Oklahoma study, the average height of Carthusian horses ranges from 1.54 to 1.55 meters (15.2 hands), while a 2016 CAB International study indicated an average height of 1.57 meters. [13] [3] [2] Alberto Soldi reported a range of 1.50 to 1.57 meters in 2014. [12] Overall, the Carthusian horse is lighter and more slender compared to other PREs, characterized by its elegance, strength, and well-conformed body. [2] [20]

Morphologically, the Carthusian is distinguished by a more "oriental" or concave in its head shape. [19] The head is relatively small, light, and well-shaped, often described as rectilinear or slightly convex, [2] [12] [21] and considered more beautiful and noble than in other PREs. [20] The forehead is broad, the ears small and the eyes large and lively. [2] [12] In contrast, non-Carthusian PREs typically exhibit more convex profiles. [19] The nose has a graceful tip, accompanied by small, thin lips. [12] A rare feature is the presence of two small bumps on the bridge of the nose, [9] [22] referred to as "horns", which are calcium deposits located beneath the ears and thought to be inherited from Asian ancestors; however, this characteristic is not a criterion for lineage recognition. [5] [13]

The neck of the Carthusian horse is graceful, muscular, and slightly arched, with a well-proportioned base. [12] The chest is deep, although less so than in other PREs, [20] with sloping shoulders and a broad thorax. [2] [12] The withers are fairly low. [12] The back is rather short and straight. [12] The rump is round [12] or sloping, [5] with the tail set fairly high, carried raised in movement. [12] The forearms are well-defined, and the legs are strong with well-defined joints, ending in relatively small hooves with solid horns. [12] [20] [2]

Known for their athleticism, Carthusian horses are also recognized for their docile and quiet temperament. [2] [12] They are recognized for their movements, [12] the quality of their walk, and the cadence of their gallop. [20]

Carthusian horses have traditionally been branded. [6] The original Carthusian monk's mark, representing a bell, was replaced in the 18th century by a bit-shaped mark. [6]

Coat

Carthusian horses are predominantly gray, [19] [20] [9] [12] a trend attributed to the use of two breeding stocks with this coat color in the first half of the 20th century. [2] There are also individuals with chestnut, black, and bay coats. [2] [12] Other PREs are more likely to feature coat colors such as bay. [19] In evaluations of Andalusian horses by show judges, the gray coat color is often associated with better ratings by the same judges. [23] In fact, the majority of horses elected Spanish champions are gray Carthusians. [23]

Genetics and hematology

Most contemporary Carthusian horses are descendants of Esclavo. [2] A genetic study carried out in 2006 identified no genetic differences between Carthusian and other Purebred Spanish horses. The study recommended crossbreeding between Carthusian and non-Carthusian PREs to maintain the genetic diversity of the lineage. [19] Carthusian have been favored in Purebred Spanish breeding, leading to a high proportion of ancestry from a small number of breeding horses, which may have limited PRE genetic diversity. A 2005 study compared the genetic distance between Carthusian horses and other PREs. They calculated a fixation index (FST) based on pedigree information. The distinction between the two is not supported by genetic evidence. [19]

Additionally, hematology studies involving approximately forty-four Carthusian mares indicated significant variations in blood composition with age, particularly noticeable after the age of 13. [24]

Usage

The Carthusian horse, classified as both a saddle horse and a light draft horse, has traditionally been favored for riding, particularly among nobility and high-ranking clergy. [20] [2] Its use as a horse-drawn vehicle was reserved for exceptional ceremonies. [20] Since then, it has been bred for its "grace", particularly for dressage practice. [25]

The Carthusian has influenced the Paso Fino breed found in South America. [26]

Distribution

Many Spanish breeders claim to possess Carthusian bloodlines, although pure Carthusians are relatively rare. [27] They account for approximately 12% of registered Andalusian horses since the establishment of the studbook in the 19th century. Currently, they represent only 3.6% of all breeding stock but make up 14.2% of stallions actively used for breeding. The Carthusian strain is bred at state stud farms around Jerez de la Frontera (such as the yeguada del Hierro del Bocado) Badajoz and Cordoba, [4] [5] as well as by several private families. [18] Since 1990, the National Stud of La Fuente del Suero, created near the Jerez de la Frontera Charterhouse, has been preserving the lineage. [28] Carthusian horses generally fetch a higher price than other PREs, [7] as a gray Carthusian is considered more valuable than a non-gray and/or non-Carthusian horse. [29]

The Carthusian, along with the Moyle and the Chinese "dragon horse", is notable for featuring bony protuberances on the muzzle. This has led to the hypothesis that American Moyles may be descended from Carthusian horses. [30]

In the culture

Thomas Terry, a member of the Marbella Club and a wine and spirits merchant, is also a breeder of Carthusian horses. In 1962, he selected his finest stallion, Nico, to represent the Terry Centenario brand. [31] This notable horse plays an important role in promoting the brand. [32]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Horse breed</span> Selectively bred populations of domesticated horses

A horse breed is a selectively bred population of domesticated horses, often with pedigrees recorded in a breed registry. However, the term is sometimes used in a broader sense to define landrace animals of a common phenotype located within a limited geographic region, or even feral "breeds" that are naturally selected. Depending on definition, hundreds of "breeds" exist today, developed for many different uses. Horse breeds are loosely divided into three categories based on general temperament: spirited "hot bloods" with speed and endurance; "cold bloods," such as draft horses and some ponies, suitable for slow, heavy work; and "warmbloods," developed from crosses between hot bloods and cold bloods, often focusing on creating breeds for specific riding purposes, particularly in Europe.

Horse breeding is reproduction in horses, and particularly the human-directed process of selective breeding of animals, particularly purebred horses of a given breed. Planned matings can be used to produce specifically desired characteristics in domesticated horses. Furthermore, modern breeding management and technologies can increase the rate of conception, a healthy pregnancy, and successful foaling.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Arabian horse</span> Horse breed originating in the Middle East

The Arabian or Arab horse is a breed of horse with historic roots on the Arabian Peninsula. With a distinctive head shape and high tail carriage, the Arabian is one of the most easily recognizable horse breeds in the world. It is also one of the oldest modern breeds. Although modern DNA cannot trace breed purity in the modern population beyond 200 years, there is archaeological evidence of horses in the Middle East with landrace characteristics that resemble modern Arabians dating back 3,500 years. Throughout history, Arabian horses have spread around the world by both war and trade, used to improve other breeds by adding speed, refinement, endurance, and strong bone. Today, Arabian bloodlines are found in almost every modern breed of riding horse.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Percheron</span> Breed of draft horse from France

The Percheron is a breed of draft horse that originated in the Huisne river valley in western France, part of the former Perche province, from which the breed takes its name. Usually gray or black in color, Percherons are well-muscled, and known for their intelligence and willingness to work. Although their exact origins are unknown, the ancestors of the breed were present in the valley by the 17th century. They are believed to descend from war horses. Over time, they began to be used for pulling stagecoaches; and later, for agriculture and hauling heavy goods. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Arabian blood was added to the breed. Exports of Percherons from France rose exponentially in the late 19th century, and the first purely Percheron stud book was created in France in 1893.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Cleveland Bay</span> Breed of horse that originated in England

The Cleveland Bay is a breed of horse that originated in England during the 17th century, named after its colouring and the Cleveland district of Yorkshire. It is a well-muscled horse, with legs that are strong but short in relation to the body. The horses are always bay in colour, although a few light hairs in the mane and tail are characteristic of some breed lines. It is the oldest established horse breed in England. The ancestors of the breed were developed during the Middle Ages for use as pack horses, when they gained their nickname of "Chapman Horses". These pack horses were cross-bred with Andalusian and Barb blood, and later with Arabians and Thoroughbreds, to create the Cleveland Bay of today. Over the years, the breed became lighter in frame as they were employed more as carriage and riding horses. The popularity of the Cleveland Bay has greatly fluctuated since it was first imported to the United States in the early nineteenth century. Despite serious declines in the population after the Second World War, the breed has experienced a resurgence in popularity since the 1970s, although only around 550 horses existed worldwide as of 2006.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Lusitano</span> Horse breed from Portugal

The Lusitano, also known as the Pure Blood Lusitano or PSL, is a Portuguese horse breed. Horses were known to be present on the Iberian Peninsula as far back as 20,000 BC, and by 800 BC the region was renowned for its war horses. The fame of the horses from Lusitania goes back to the Roman Age, which attributed its speed to the influence of the West wind, who was considered capable of fertilizing the mares. When the Muslims invaded Iberia in 711 AD, they brought Arabian horses with them that were crossed with the native horses, developing a horse that became useful for war, dressage and bull fighting. The Portuguese horse was named the Lusitano, after the word Lusitania, the ancient Roman name for the region that modern Portugal occupies. There are four main breed lineages within the breed today, and characteristics differ slightly between each line.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Ukrainian Riding Horse</span> Ukrainian breed of warmblood sport horse

The Ukrainian Riding Horse or Ukrainian Saddle Horse is a modern Ukrainian breed of warmblood sport horse. Breeding began in the years after the Second World War at the stud farm of Dnipropetrovsk in central Ukraine – at that time in the USSR – and later expanded to three other state stud farms. It derives from cross-breeding of Hanoverian, Thoroughbred and Trakehner stallions with local mares or with Hungarian Furioso, Gidran Arab or Nonius mares. It incorporates the last bloodlines of the extinct Orlov-Rostopchin or Russian Saddle Horse. It was bred to compete in show jumping, three-day eventing and dressage, but is also suitable as a general riding horse.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Haflinger</span> A breed of horse developed in Austria and northern Italy

The Haflinger, also known as the Avelignese, is a breed of horse developed in Austria and northern Italy during the late 19th century. Haflinger horses are relatively small, are always chestnut with flaxen mane and tail, have distinctive gaits described as energetic but smooth, and are well-muscled yet elegant. The breed traces its ancestry to the Middle Ages; several theories for its origin exist. Haflingers, developed for use in mountainous terrain, are known for their hardiness. Their current conformation and appearance are the result of infusions of bloodlines from Arabian and various European breeds into the original native Tyrolean ponies. The foundation sire, 249 Folie, was born in 1874; by 1904, the first breeders' cooperative was formed. All Haflingers can trace their lineage back to Folie through one of seven bloodlines. World Wars I and II, as well as the Great Depression, had a detrimental effect on the breed, and lower-quality animals were used at times to save the breed from extinction. During World War II, breeders focused on horses that were shorter and more draft-like, favored by the military for use as packhorses. The emphasis after the war shifted toward animals of increased refinement and height.

The Boulonnais, also known as the "White Marble Horse", is a draft horse breed. It is known for its large but elegant appearance and is usually gray, although chestnut and black are also allowed by the French breed registry. Originally there were several sub-types, but they were crossbred until only one is seen today. The breed's origins trace to a period before the Crusades and, during the 17th century, Spanish Barb, Arabian, and Andalusian blood were added to create the modern type.

A stud farm or stud in animal husbandry is an establishment for selective breeding of livestock. The word "stud" comes from the Old English stod meaning "herd of horses, place where horses are kept for breeding". Historically, documentation of the breedings that occur on a stud farm leads to the development of a stud book. Male animals made available for breeding to outside female animals are said to be "standing at stud", or at "stud service", referencing the relatively high probability that they are kept at a stud farm.

They are usually bay or bay roan in color, although some other colors are accepted by the breed registry, and are known for their power and docility.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Jutland horse</span> Danish horse breed

The Jutland horse is a draft horse breed originating in Denmark, named after the Jutland Peninsula which forms the western part of the country. Usually chestnut, they are a compact, muscular breed known for their calm and willing temperament. The breed was originally developed for use in agriculture, but today is more often seen in urban settings and at horse shows. Some of the best known members of the breed pull beer wagons for the Carlsberg brewery around Copenhagen, as well as at competitions and for demonstrations. Images from the 9th century show a horse similar to the Jutland being used by Viking raiders in what is now Great Britain. The first written record is from the 12th century, when they were popular as war horses. Some infusion of bloodlines from other breeds occurred in the 18th century, but the modern Jutland type only began about 1850 with the addition of blood from several other breeds, mainly draft horses. A stud book was created in the late 19th century, and the Jutland population grew to a maximum around 15,000 by 1950. Numbers subsequently declined, and as of 2011, only an estimated 1,000 horses remained.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Poitevin horse</span> French breed of horse

The Poitevin or Poitou is a French breed of draft horse. It is named for its area of origin, the former province of Poitou in west-central France, now a part of the region of Nouvelle-Aquitaine. It was formed in the seventeenth century when horses of Flemish or Dutch origin, brought to the area by engineers working to drain the Marais Poitevin, interbred with local horses. Although it has the size and conformation of a draft horse, the Poitevin has never been bred for draft abilities, and has been little used for draft work. Its principal traditional use was the production of mules. Poitevin mares were put to jacks of the large Baudet du Poitou breed of donkey; the resulting Poitevin mules were in demand for agricultural and other work in many parts of the world, including Russia and the United States. In the early twentieth century there were some 50,000 brood mares producing between 18,000 and 20,000 mules per year.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Andalusian horse</span> Horse breed from the Iberian Peninsula

The Andalusian, also known as the Pure Spanish Horse or PRE, is a horse breed from the Iberian Peninsula, where its ancestors have lived for thousands of years. The Andalusian has been recognized as a distinct breed since the 15th century, and its conformation has changed very little over the centuries. Throughout its history, it has been known for its prowess as a war horse, and was prized by the nobility. The breed was used as a tool of diplomacy by the Spanish government, and kings across Europe rode and owned Spanish horses. During the 19th century, warfare, disease and crossbreeding reduced herd numbers dramatically, and despite some recovery in the late 19th century, the trend continued into the early 20th century. Exports of Andalusians from Spain were restricted until the 1960s, but the breed has since spread throughout the world, despite their low population. In 2010, there were more than 185,000 registered Andalusians worldwide.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Norman Cob</span> Breed of light draught horse from Normandy

The Norman Cob or Cob Normand is a breed of light draught horse that originated in the region of Normandy in northern France. It is of medium size, with a range of heights and weights, due to selective breeding for a wide range of uses. Its conformation is similar to a robust Thoroughbred, and it more closely resembles a Thoroughbred cross than other French draught breeds. The breed is known for its lively, long-striding trot. Common colours include chestnut, bay and seal brown. There are three general subsets within the breed: horses used under saddle, those used in harness, and those destined for meat production. It is popular for recreational and competitive driving, representing France internationally in the latter, and is also used for several riding disciplines.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Yeguada Militar de Jerez de la Frontera</span> Andalusian and Arabian horse farm in Spain

The Yeguada Militar de Jerez de la Frontera, known outside Spain as the Yeguada Militar, is a military Spanish stud farm headquartered in Andalusia, Spain, dedicated to horse breeding of purebred Andalusian horses and Arabian horses. Founded in 1847, it became the state military stud farm in 1893. In the 20th century, as need for cavalry horses declined, the stud's emphasis shifted to become a genetic reservoir to preserve the bloodlines of the Pure Spanish Horse and to continue to breed high quality Arabian horses, with stallions of both breeds being made available to private horse breeders to improve the horses of Spain. Today, there are two facilities located in the Jerez de la Frontera area, one primarily for stallions, the other for mares and foals, as well as multiple stallion depots across the country.
