  2. ^ 'R.D. 2129/2008', accessed March 13, 2012, which is the offical spanish list. Only fomento and en peligro de extinción sections, which are the iberian breeds, list 15 breeds. The remaining breeds are of well known foreing blood, or like the deporte español are recent developments
  3. ^ Both lists are divergent, partly because the spanish list is more actual -last changed February 2012- and partly because FAO list as different entities two Mallorquin horses -in spanish and catalan- as different breeds. The FAO lists also lacks another breed, Troton Español, which is bred solely in Mallorca
