The Andravida or Eleia Horse is a light draft breed[1] found in the region of Ilia in Greece.
[1] The members of the breed are predominantly brown, bay, chestnut, red roan, black and occasionally grey, though, this tends to be a rare phenomenon.
The chest is broad and heavy-set with thick muscles; the back is slightly dipped; the shoulders should be well-sloped and the croup only gently so.
[2] The breed is believed to trace to the cavalry horses of Ancient Greece; in the fourth century BC used by the Athenian Army.
The breed was saved from extinction in the early 1990s, when Andravida's Selle Francais stallion Calin de Nanteuil, renamed Pegasus, covered some mares, resulting in 50 healthy foals that went to breeders throughout western Greece.
