The Horses
- Medieval Times is the North American leader in preserving the thousand-year-old pure bloodline of Andalusian horses, a Spanish breed that served royalty in the 11th century. One of the most rare breeds in the world, the Spanish Andalusian Stallion is the pride and joy of Medieval Times. Originating from the Iberian Peninsula and named for the region in Spain called Andalusia, the Andalusian was the “royal horse of Europe” and is one of the great, ancient equine breeds. Andalusians possess a proud but docile temperament, and are sensitive and particularly intelligent, responsive and cooperative, learning quickly and easily when treated with respect and care.
Medieval Times owns and cares for 30 horses, ranging from three to 16 years old. Though it takes great pride in its snowy Andalusian Stallions, it also proudly features other breeds at the castle, including Friesian, Minorcan, Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horses.
