LEGIONARIO XIX, proved not only to be a great horse in every aspect, but also one of the most influential horses in the breeding of the Purebred Spanish Horse in the last twenty years. His most important contribution was the change in the morphological structure, adding size and strength. Giving a height that averages 1.70 meters, with large, powerful joints
LEGIONARIO XIX was chosen as one of only thirty stallions, to feature in the book Historical and Current Stallions of the Purebred Spanish Horse, written by Alvaro Domecq. Horses from the line of LEGIONARIO XIX are used for breeding at several of the top Spanish Studs, including, Candau, Cardenas, and Senorio de Bahiain .
