    Why own a Warmblood when you could have an Iberian?

    Hello everybody, Well... I'm from Spain and have been surrounded by PRE horses since I was a kid. It is obvious my preference is for the Spanish pure breed...but all central-european warmbloods are descendents of the PRE so...they can't be too bad! ;)
