Cuban Trotter horse

Country Of Origin Cuba
History and Background The Cuban Trotter, also called the Criollo de Trote, is a common riding horse in Cuba. It is a descendant of Spanish horses brought to the Americas by the conquistadors.
The Cuban Trotter is a descendant of Spanish horses brought to the Americas by the conquistadors during the Spanish occupation. This is also why the breed has a morphology and constitution that is similar to the horses found in Argentina, Chile, Peru, Uruguay, and Brazil.
However, the Cuban Trotter was also influenced by Canadian horses shipped to Cuba during the American Revolution. These horses were brought to Cuba to work on the sugar plantations. In fact, these Canadian horses are often credited with bestowing the Cuban Trotter with the ability to trot so gracefully.
The Cuban Trotter, therefore, is a combination of Spanish and Canadian horses.
