These include the Akhal-Teke horses – the horses of Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, Darius the Great and other mighty generals; Arabian horses whose stamina and speed was the subject of amazement of King Solomon; Boulogne horses which have their roots in Ancient Rome; elegant and hot-blooded horses of the Andalusian breed that used to carry Spanish kings during parades and with the help of which conquistadors conquered the New World.
