CRITICALLY ENDANGERED

Although thousands were brought into the United States in the 1950's and ‘60's, Galiceño horses are now a very rare breed. Galiceño Horses are now considered Critically Endangered by the Livestock Conservancy. There are probably fewer than 100 pure Galiceños left, most of them not in breeding situations.

Every Galiceño is unique! Although small in stature compared to the average horse, the Galiceño is extremely hardy with an abundance of natural courage and stamina. It is nothing for him to carry an adult for a day's ride and still be less spent than many larger horses. These horses are very intelligent and quick to learn with a naturally mild and gentle disposition. They make a wonderful all around and all family horse!
