Is this the same breed as the Sorraia, about which we already have an article? Montanabw (talk) 04:21, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
This article will eventually need a characteristics section, the following material was originally in the article, but unsourced and apparently is a rough translation from Spanish, so might be a base, but isn't readable in its current form and there is some question if it's accurate.

"The Retuerta horse is of medium height, profile acarenado and rustic, which together with his surly nature was to stop being used as work animals and cargo. Currently the number of pure specimens is very small, and the rest crosses with Andalusian and Marismeños to varying degrees.
Here are 2 duff links I took out of the article:

Press Release CSIC
The first is an incompetently translated version of a Spanish source, possibly an original CSIC press release. Note for example that dear Samantha thinks that there are only 60 horses left; what the El Mundo article says is that 60 horses were investigated in the study. This is obviously not a reliable source, and has no place in the article. This is the second time I have removed it.
The second is a link to the CSIC itself, and should be totally reliable. Except that it is broken, as are apparently many of their other document links. If anyone is able to access that second source, I would very much like to know what it says.

Here's a link to an article about Spain releasing these horses into an unfenced nature preserve in order to encourage breeding and the natural roaming behavior that is "in their DNA". I'm not much of a writer though, so someone have at it. http://www.npr.org/blogs/parallels/2014/01/08/260777584/after-2-000-years-wild-horses-again-roam-western-spain 108.24.53.70 ( talk) 21:27, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
