	Jennet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It may mean a small Spanish horse, a female donkey, or a hybrid produced by a male horse and a female donkey, the opposite of the traditional mule-producing pairing of a female horse with a male donkey.
		In the etymology provided by the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica, jennet is derived from the French genet, from Spanish jinete, a light horseman who rides a la gineta, explained as "with his legs tucked up." The term is taken to be a corruption of the Arabic Zenata, a Berber tribe famed for its cavalry.
		In the United Kingdom, a female donkey is not called a jennet; she is either called a mare or a jenny, and a male donkey is called a stallion rather than a jack or jackass [2] although the term jack is gaining greater usage.

		The Spanish Jennet is the OLD Iberian horse from which the Andalusian, Lusitano and Sorraia is derived from.
		I always wondered why the old Spanish horses here never had that big arched facial profile and am so relieved to hear that it is because it is a warmblood trait and not an Iberian one.

	Welcome to Rio Del Costa! History
		One of the main strains to develop was the Spanish Jennet, which was noted for its comfortable saddle gait and the ability to pass this gait on to its offspring.
		The blood of the Spanish Jennet proved strong indeed, and in several regions horses with smooth riding gaits began to be prized breeding animals.
		Particularly in Puerto Rico were these strains dominant, and even though through the years other breeds have been introduced to the island, mainly in attempts to increase the size, the influence has been negligible, and many modern individuals strongly resemble their ancient prototypes.

		The Jennet, the ancestor of all North American gaited breeds, was quite popular in color patterns that are today found in the Appaloosa, Knabstrupper and Noriker horses.
		The excellence of the Ni Mee Poo horses, due to the Spanish influence, is recorded in the journal of Merriweather Lewis, written during the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1804.
		Both these well known breeds had a strong Spanish Jennet influence, so it is no wonder that Lewis, himself a horse breeder, recognized the quality of the Ni Mee Poo herds.

		Both share a common ancestry of the Spanish Barb, Andalusian, and Spanish Jennet, and both descended from horses originally brought to the New World as mounts for the conquistadors and Spanish settlers.
		The horses brought to the New World by Columbus were a mix of three breeds – the Spanish Barb, the Spanish Jennet and the Andulusian.
		Because there was no native stock with which to cross-breed, the unique horses brought from Spain reproduced in relative isolation for generation after generation, thereby deeply embedding many of their original traits.

		The Spanish Jennet, a small pacing horse of primarily Libyan extraction, was one of the most popular breeds of the Middle Ages.
