Coursing through their veins,
the blood of the ancient ones.
On their backs rode Caliphs, Conquerors and Kings.
They have run with the eagle, and
felt the earth of unexplored lands beneath their hooves.
Their past...forged from the steel of endurance.
Their present...built on the heritage of the past.
Their future...guided by the reins of destiny.
— Peg Cash

The Spanish Barb Breeders Association (SBBA), is dedicated to the preservation, perpetuation and promotion of the Spanish Barb Horse. The Barb Horse of Colonial Spain was exceptional because it was coveted and sought after to improve other breeds throughout Europe. It survived sailing to the New World and adapted to a vastly different and often hostile environment. It was upon this horse's back that the Americas were settled. The SBBA reveres this heritage and seeks to honor it.
