	Asturcon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Asturcones, or Asturian ponies, small horses local to Asturias, have inhabited the Earth for the past 3000 years and, although at one point they were in danger of extinction, they were highly appreciated by the Romans.
		The ancient breed's ancestry is not known, although it is thought to have been from crosses between the Sorraia, Garrano, and the ancient Celtic pony.
		It is thought by some that the Asturian developed as a cross between the Garrano pony of northern Portugal and Spain - a direct descendant of the Celtic pony - and the Sorraia, the original saddle horse of Iberia, which gave the breed its calm temperament.

	Horse breeds and horse information
		Galicenos were primarily solid colors, with a rapid, smooth forward gaiting that is characteristic of other Spanish breed horses and that belied their heritage: galicenos were a cross between the wild garrano type mountain ponies of Spain and Portugal, the wild Sorraia horses of the swamplands and the war horses, the Andalusians.
		The Garrano and Sorraia are also "gaited" breeds meaning that they show the Spanish gaiting coveted by many horse lovers.
		The galiceno, depending upon the individual horse's heritage, may or may not show this movement, but it is written into the breed's standards, and most of the horses captured in the Mexican interior showed this Spanish movement.

		It is thought by some that the Astrurian developed as a cross between the Garrano pony of northern Portugal and Spain - a direct descendant of the Celtic pony - and the Sorraia, the original saddle horse of Iberia, which gave the breed its calm temperament.
		Some other blood must have been present in the Astrurian's lineage, however, because the ambling gait is not present in either the Sorraia or Garrano.
		Suspected by the author is a strong and more direct link to the ancient Celtic pony, of which some strains at least must have been amblers.

	The Sorraia Horse - Conquistador Magazine
		To quote Dr. d'Andrade, "The Sorraia horse differs clearly from the Garranos, the wild ponies of the mountains in the north.
		The Garranos are found in mountainous regions which receive much precipitation, where the pastures stay green all year and where the burro is not found.
		The pure-bred Andalusian's teeth, though, correspond with those of the Sorraia horse." The Garrano has had a certain influence on all Iberian breeds and their New World derivatives, which is evident in the Lusitano, particularly in the Alter Real strain, Andalusian and more so in the Paso breeds and the Galiceno.

		The Losino breed maintained its number until the 50's but afterwards, and principally due to farming mechanization, the crossbreeding with meat breeds and donkey populations for mule production, its population declined to the most critical limits of its history in 1986 (around 30 animals).
