The Sorraia Mustang Stallion from Schleich® FARM WORLD has a narrow dorsal stripe on his back. This is a characteristic of these horses, as is the dun coat and the dark snout. The mane and tail show another characteristic of the breed: They are always bi-colored! Sorraia horses are considered the ancestors of Andalusians and Lusitanos. It is to them that these breeds owe their high-set, strong neck.
Fun Fact
The Sorraias developed from a herd of wild horses near the Sorraia River in Portugal.
