</ref> --> Iberian horses are thought to be one of the oldest types of domesticated horses. Modern Iberian breeds tend to be of a Baroque horse type that resemble their most famous member, the Andalusian horse, in conformation. There are no purely native cold blood (heavy / work) horse breeds from the iberian Peninsula , both for ecological/economical (alternate work animals -oxen and mules - were easier to maintain in the peninsular conditions) and military (during the middle ages the Iberian Peninsula chavalry was of the lighter type) reasons. In fact, even at the mid XX century, the mule stock trebled the horse stock, with the negative impact on the availability of breeding mares.^[11]
