[edit] Portuguese origin, not Iberian.

According to the Portuguese page, the Sorraia breed's origin is purely Portuguese - the stated area of origin on the Portuguese page (an area limited by the rivers Sor and Raia) is on Portugal only, not Spain. The river Sorraia is formed by the junction of two streams, Sor and Raia. These two streams are, according to the Portuguese page, the origin of the name. The river Sorraia "starts" in Couço, Coruche... given a stream's length limit by definition and the localization of Coruche (far from Spain), the area is well limited within Portugal. Please propagate the changes to all the national pages. --portugal (talk) 20:52, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
