The Higher Council of Scientific Research (CSIC) has said that the wild horses known as retuertas which live in the Doñana Nature Reserve are the oldest breed of horse in Europe. The authors of the CSIC's genetic study said the 60-strong herd of retuertas which are found nowhere else but Doñana is the last wild horse population in Europe to live in complete isolation from other breeds. They said their study is drumming up support for the retuertas horse to be recognised as a breed native to Andalusia.
