About Landais
The Landais is an old breed, originally from the Landes region of southwestern France and probably influenced by Arab or English blood. It is theorized that the breed descends from horse shown in the prehistoric cave paintings at Lascaux. Some Arabian blood is thought to have been added around the time of the first Battle of Poitiers and, more certainly, again in the early 1900s. During World War II, they were crossed with heavier breeds to increase their build, but the result of this is that it is now hard to find purebred Landais. In 1988, Arab and Welsh Section B stallions were being used to rebuild the original breed.
