The Retuerta horse or Caballo de las retuertas is a rare breed of horse indigenous to the Andalusia region of Spain. It is now found only in the Doñana National Park in the provinces of Huelva and Sevilla, a part of which is the research reserve of the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, the Spanish National Research Council. According to a genetic study by the CSIC, the Retuertas horse is the oldest European breed,[dubious – discuss] dating to 3000 years BP, and the only one living in the wild and isolated from other populations.[1][2]
