Don Horses
The modern Don is still tough and strong with an independent character. It is bred in large numbers in the Steppes, where it can run free and needs little care from humans. These days the Don is mainly used for endurance riding, for which it is admirably suited. It is used to infuse stamina and hardiness into other breeds. Don Horses are usually brown, or chestnut but bay, black, and gray sometimes occur. Don Horses stand about 15 hands high.

Azteca Horses
The Azteca has the noble attitude and bearing of the Andalusian, with the docility, speed, and agility of the Quarter Horse and the toughness of the Criollo. The Azteca was created to provide an impressive, elegant Spanish/Latin-type horse for leisure riding and competition. a European-type warmblood or Thoroughbred type was specifically not wanted. The Andalusian ancestry of the Azteca is quite obvious. The neck is elegantly arched, substantial, and well muscled. The legs are fine and strong with good joints, muscular upper parts, and good riding pasterns and feet. The horse stands naturally square and proud. Azteca Horses stand from 14 to 15 hands high.
