Features
Origin and history The presence of wild horses and their domestication was already documented in prehistoric times, etched onto granite surfaces. Roman historians also mentioned the horses in the west of the Iberian peninsula, the Galician horses, more specifically the lampón and tieldón breed. During the Middle Ages, in the 13th century the presence of mares and wild horses belonging to the Monastery of Oia was already documented, and from the 18th century onwards there are records of the existence of the curro, through a forum that mentions the monastery’s rights to “catch and corral” the animals- Descripción del entorno: Mountainous
