═══════════════════════════════════

Derived from the Azteca of modern Mexico, this breed is hardy and sure footed but agile and quick-minded when at work. They are colored more vibrantly than their founders after being crossed with Quarter Horses, Appaloosa and Paint types.
Though they tend to be hot headed when left to themselves, these horses are very willing once training begins and are known for their athleticism in and out of the show ring.
They excel in the Western division, with most being used for ranch work on an everyday basis, but others have proven their worth in the Dressage and Polo fields.

One characteristic of the breed is the ever present Dorsal Stripe. While Dun types are very common within the breed, nearly all American Aztecas carry a dorsal stripe regardless of leg barring or other dun factors. It is thought that any American Azteca that lacks a dorsal stripe will bring bad luck, and so those that do not sport one are often sold at market for much less than those that show. It does not, however, indicate any less ability when showing.
