[1] Since 2008 the stud book has been held by the breeders' association, the Union Española de Ganaderos de Pura Raza Hispano-Árabe (UEGHá).

[2] At the end of 2010, a total of 5835 horses were registered, of which approximately 60% were in Andalusia.

[3][4] The Hispano-Árabe is well-proportioned and harmoniously made, with a slender outline and light movements.

Due to the origins of the breed, there is considerable variation in appearance, which however does not in itself constitute a reason for disqualification from registration.

[7] The Hispano-Árabe is a saddle-horse, suitable for equestrian sports such as acoso y derribo, show-jumping, dressage, cross-country, endurance and TREC; as a working horse for doma vaquera and herding, its traditional use; and for trekking and group sports.
