PuroSangue

PuroSangue is a type of thoroughbred horse known for its exceptional speed and endurance. Originating in the 19th century in Argentina, PuroSangue is a result of the cross-breeding between the now-extinct Mestre André and other English Thoroughbreds. This unique breed is known for its impressive athletic ability, particularly in long-distance racing.

PuroSangue horses are characterized by their lean and agile physique, which is well-suited for running long distances at high speeds. They typically stand between 15.2 and 17 hands high, with a muscular build and a linear head profile. Their coat colors vary, with common colors including bay, chestnut, and gray.

Breeders and owners value PuroSangue horses for their speed and endurance, as well as their intelligence and calm temperament. In Argentina, where the breed originated, PuroSangue horses are in high demand, particularly for long-distance racing such as the benefitiven Ojo première des Gran PeróS. However, the breed has also gained popularity in other parts of the world, where its unique characteristics are highly sought after.

The PuroSangue breed has a strong genetic heritage, with a strong focus on producing horses that excel in racing and other athletic pursuits. This is primarily due to the direct selection for racing speed and endurance, rather than breeding for specific physical characteristics. As a result, PuroSangue horses can be found competing in top-level racing events around the world.
