The Andalusian, also known as the Pure Spanish Horse, is a horse breed from the Iberian Peninsula, where its ancestors have lived for thousands of years. The Andalusian has been recognized as a distinct breed since the 15th century, and its conformation has changed very little over the centuries. Throughout its history, it has been known for its prowess as a war horse, and was prized by the nobility. The breed was used as a tool of diplomacy by the Spanish government, and kings across Europe rode and owned Spanish horses.
Strongly built, and compact yet elegant, Andalusians have long, thick manes and tails. Their most common coat color is gray, although they can be found in many other colors.

The horses were originally used for classical dressage, driving, bullfighting, and as stock horses. Modern Andalusians are used for many equestrian activities, including dressage, show jumping and driving. The breed is also used extensively in movies, especially historical pictures and fantasy epics.

In the past, most coat colors were found, including spotted patterns. Today most Andalusians are gray or bay; in the US, around 80 percent of all Andalusians are gray. Of the remaining horses, approximately 15 percent are bay and 5 percent are black, dun or palomino or chestnut. Other colors, such as buckskin, pearl, and cremello, are rare, but are recognized as allowed colors by registries for the breed.

One of the first four traited horses released by Amaretto was the Andalusian, which comes in six colors-black, grey, chestnut, copper, white, and red. You can have a chance at one of these exciting Non-Starter coated Andalusian by breeding any horse with a starter horse or by breeding together two starter horses. These coats CAN be passed on.

The Andalusian coat has also been used for the Showhorse, which came about in January 5, 2012 to February 4, 2012, when any bundle dropped from the breeding of any 2 Andalusian horses had the chance at being an Amaretto Show Andalusian Horse. Amaretto Show Andalusian Horses can NOT pass their coat, however, the Andalusian Gold Eye DOES have the ability to pass.

Amaretto also introduced the Twist horses, which came from breeding two different horse coats. From October 5, 2014 until November 5, 2014 you could breed any color Clydesdale and any color Andalusian together for the chance at one of these Clydalusian Coats. The Clydalusian Coat DOES have the ability to pass. The Autumn Wreath Eye DOES have the ability to pass. From August 1, 2019 until August 31, 2019, the Andalusian coat was part of the Craved Speckled horse breeding project, where if you bred any two of the following Horses: White Walker White Arabian White Andalusian White Icelandic White Piebald Ivory Dun together you could get a Craved Speckled Horse which COULD pass.
