Breeding history
The characteristics of the Calabrese developed through crossbreeding of Arabs and Andalusians . The breed comes from the province of Calabria in southern Italy. In the Middle Ages, the Calabrese was used as a mount for knights . Until the 18th century the population of the breed declined a lot, but from the middle of the 18th to the middle of the 19th century the population was refreshed with new crossings with Arabs and Andalusians. From the 20th century other breeds such as the English thoroughbred , the Arabs, Andalusians and Hackney were introduced. As a result, the original type of baroque horse is lost and a modern sport horse developed.
