Retuerta horse
The Retuerta horse or Caballo de las retuertas is a rare breed of horse indigenous to the Andalusia region of Spain. It is now found only in the Doñana National Park in the provinces of Huelva and Sevilla, a part of which is the research reserve of the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, the Spanish National Research Council. According to a genetic study by the CSIC, the Retuertas horse is the oldest European breed, dating to 3000 years BP, and the only one living in the wild and isolated from other populations.[1][2]
