Jaca Navarra
Spanish breed of horse
The Jaca Navarra (Basque: Nafarroako zaldiko), or Navarrese Horse, is a Spanish breed of small horse from the autonomous community of Navarre in the north-eastern part of the country. In 2013 it was listed in the Catálogo Oficial de Razas de Ganado de España in the group of autochthonous breeds in danger of extinction.[4] The total population of the Jaca Navarra has been variously estimated at 350 (in 1999),[5] 250 (in 2000),[6] and 240 and decreasing (in 1997).[7]: 739 In April 2011 the total population was reported to be 899, all of which were in Navarre.[8] In 2000, and again in 2007, it was listed by the FAO as endangered.[7]: 739 [1]: 109
A breeders' association, the Asociación de Criadores de Ganado Equino Jaca Navarra, was formed in 1999,[5] and a stud-book opened in 2001.[9] The conservation and reference herd kept in semi-feral conditions at the Sabaiza estate contains all but a few examples of the breed.[5]
