"Manga Larga"

            Popularly known for its trotting gait, imposing and refined walk. The Mangalarga Paulista also performs well in other gaits, such as galloping. In addition, it stands out for its docility, resistance and agility, qualities that make it ideal for work in the field of cattle driving and for sports.

The Mangalarga horse originated from the horse of the Iberian Peninsula. The horses brought by the colonizers of Brazil were native to the Iberian and Berber Peninsulas.

When the Portuguese Royal Family came to Brazil, the best Lusitano specimens from the Coudelaria Real de Álter were also brought, a fact that played a decisive role in the formation of the breed, since the breeding animals brought on this trip, as well as their descendants, were widely used by breeders of the time to improve their herds.

The first animals came from the Junqueira family's breeding farms in southern Minas Gerais, who brought specimens and settled in the region of Orlândia and Colina (SP), where they defined the basis for their selection.

The Mangalarga Paulista was formed by Lieutenant-Major Francisco Antônio Diniz Junqueira and his descendants, who settled with farms in 1812, in what is now the Municipality of Orlândia, where they took horses.

The qualities that benefit the rider stand out, such as the long, sloping shoulder, which helps the rider position himself and the passage of the girth. The croup is wide and strong, typical elements of saddle horses.

The natural gaits of this type of horse are the gallop, trot and walk. The Mangalarga performs satisfactorily in all of them, but its trademark is the trotted gait, a gait defined as being diagonal and bipedal in two beats.

As for the coat, the predominant color is reddish-brown, or chestnut, which obviously characterizes the chestnut.
