Horses in Jamaica
text:
Horses were introduced to Jamaica by Spanish conquistadors (conquerors) and colonists in 1509. After a good initial development, horse breeding was curbed as the Jamaican grasslands were used for plantations. The English conquest of the island in 1670 led to the massacre of Spanish horses, their gradual replacement by English horses, and the arrival of West African slaves, themselves assimilated to animals by Anglo-American slave owners. Horse breeding enjoyed a revival in the 18th century. Alth
