Navarrin horse

The Cheval Navarrin, also called Navarin, Navarrois, Tarbais, Tarbésan or Bigourdin, is an extinct breed of light saddle-horse from south-western France.

It was bred principally in the plains of the Pyrenees around Tarbes, and in Bigorre, now in the Hautes-Pyrénées.

It stood about 148–151 centimetres at the withers.

[1] Lively and elegant, it had an excellent reputation throughout the 18th century.

It was used as a mount for light cavalry, as a saddle-horse and for classical dressage.
