Iberian Warmbloods are sport horses that have a minimum of
25% Andalusian and/or Lusitano bloodlines from one or both of their parents.
The ancestors of these horses include the primitive Sorraia horse, which around
900 B.C., was mixed with horses from Northern Africa. The Sorraia, perhaps the
oldest breed of horse, is depicted in early cave paintings found on the Iberian
Peninsula.

Icelandic horses are one of the oldest horse breeds in the world.
They were brought to Iceland by the first settlers from Norway, in the late ninth
to early tenth centuries.Due to the harsh climate and the lack of vegetation over more than one half of the country, the Icelandic horse had an extremely difficult existence. Only the strongest and the fittest could survive. As a result of a plague in Europe, Iceland quarantined itself for many years. In AD 930 a law was passed to ban the importation of horses and other animals into Iceland to keep out diseases. This had the effect of preserving the purity of the Icelandic horses – they have never been crossbred with other horses and have remained pure for over a t ... | ||

Indian Country Bred is the common name for a inter-bred

Bhutia and Spiti have been lost, and they now are categorized as "Indian
Country Bred." They originated in the Himalayan region of India, and are
now found in the Buhtan, Sikkim, and Darjeeling regions of India.
They were well suited to mountainous climate and terrain, they are not as able to endure humidity and heat.
