King Arthur Carrousel - Aztec: Dressed in trappings painted orange and yellow with black and red trim, Aztec may be named for the Azteca horse, a modern breed originated in Mexico.
The Azteca combines bloodlines from three breeds, Andalusians or Lusitanos (Iberian horses), the American Quarter Horse and the Argentine Criollo. The Azteca is a hardy breed, agile and intelligent and able to work on the range. The attractive horse is known for its straight or slightly convex head, with small pricked ears and thick, slightly arched necks.
