The Azteca~
A well bred Azteca is a
beautiful combination of the qualities admired in the Spanish and
Quarter Horse. Like both the Spanish and
Quarter Horse/American
Paint Horse. The Azteca is compact in build and powerfully
muscled without being heavy. One way to visualize an Azteca is to
think of a horse with the front half of an Andalusian (although the
neck is not as thick and the head is more refined) and the rear half
of the Quarter Horse.
The Azteca is a
versatile, athletic horse which has already proven itself in many of
the equine sports. One of their most endearing qualities is a real
willingness to please and perform, which makes them a pleasure to be
around and train. If correctly bred and treated, they are generally
intelligent, friendly, playful, curious, sensitive and sensible.
Like their Spanish ancestors, they are energetic, bold and brave yet
manageable to their riders and handlers. They inherit some of that
beautiful Spanish elegance, nobleness, flair, grace and natural
collection. From the Quarter Horse they get strength, quickness,
agility, docility and cow-sense. Their temperament serves them well
at performing feats which require courage, concentration and
agility.
The
mixture of natural collection, a strong back, powerful hindquarters
and shoulders which allow the forelimb greater than average
flexibility and range of motion, give the Azteca the ability to move
forward and laterally with great agility, power and quickness. This
fact coupled with their boldness and willingness to perform are
characteristics crucial for the work which Aztecas do to such
perfection, namely ranch work with cattle, bullfighting, rodeo
sports, dressage and jumping. They are also wonderful as trail and
pleasure mounts.
