The Pampa Horse is a horse breed that combines the conformational characteristics of Brazilian Horses that are gaited with a pinto spotting pattern of white and dark coat colors. Developed from a base of spotted horses of the Mangalarga Marchador, Campolina, Brazilian crossbred horses, and others. This breed is a very similar to a Spotted Saddle horse in US, but in the case of Pampa Breed are only accepted spotted horses.

History

As the Pampa is a spotted breed of Brazilian horses, their history begins with the introduction of this coat in Brazil, and there is no record of a precise date for the arrival of these types of horses.

However it is believed that the color pattern was introduced with the first horses brought by Spanish settlers to South America (such as the Andalusian horse and Jaca Navarra)[1] in the south of the South American continent (which is also where breeds such as the Criollo[1] and Campeiro[2] originated), as well as a few horses of Barb horse origin, brought by Portuguese settlers, and Dutch horses, brought to northeastern of Brazil with the Pernambuco invasion.[3]

The Names Reason

Brigadier Rafael Tobias de Aguiar the man that is responsible by the names Pampa and Tobiano

The origin of the Pampa horse name and Tobiano coat color comes from the same man, the Brigadier and horse breeder Rafael Tobias de Aguiar, that which created spotted horses, pintos horses, in the mid-19th century.

The Brigadier Rafael Tobias de Aguiar led the Liberal Revolution along with Father Diogo Antônio Feijó to combat the rise of the Conservatives during the early reign of Dom Pedro II. With all he was defeated by the imperial forces in the Sorocaba province. He fled with his army and troop of pintos horses to Rio Grande do Sul, to join the rebels of the Ragamuffin War. With all, six months after having fled the Sorocaba province, Tobias was arrested in Palmeira das Missões and taken to the Laje Fortress, in Rio de Janeiro.[4]

The Relationship of the Names: Pampa and Tobiano

  • Pampa
Aimé Félix Tschiffely and Mancha a Criollo Overo of the "Pampas in the middle of the journey starting from Buenos Aires until the New York City"

However when these pinto horses of the soldiers that accompanied Brigadier returned to São Paulo, they became gradually known throughout the Brazil as the horses of the "Pampas"[3], the predominant biome of Rio Grande do Sul (occupying about 63% of the state territory).

  • Tobiano

Tobias, in his passage through Rio Grande do Sul, presented some gaucho farmer of Cruz Alta with one of their spotted horses, and because of that and the fact that he passed through the towns and villages of the Rio Grande do Sul, with their spotted horses, the horses of this type, in this region, they were named by Tobia's Horses, which eventually evolve into Tobianos Horses.

The interesting thing is that this flight was that gave reason to name, for different reasons, but with the same fact, the same Brigadier and his troops of horses, who cross São Paulo to Rio Grande do Sul with their tobiano horses and spread the "Pampa" name, because of the relationship of the origin of the horses with the Rio Grande do Sul biome, and "Tobiano" because of the name of Brigadier (Tobias).

Introducing with the color breed, the Pampa horse comes from crossbreeding between breeds including the Anglo-Arabian, Campeiro, Campolina, Criollo, Mangalarga, Mangalarga Marchador, Thoroughbred, and Brazilian crossbred horses. That's why pintos horses originating registry are accepted in this breeds.

The basic characteristics is an international morphology of a saddle horse, preserving the forms of progress. Not to deface the national Pampa morphology are vetoed the source animals records in animals that have a origin in Quarter Horse and Arabian, in other races considered exotic.[5]
