Also known as Mangalarga '''Paulista''']]'''Mangalarga''' is a [[Brazil]]ian horse breed that was first originated from the Francisco Gabriel Junqueira (Baron of Alfenas) work with [[Alter Real|Royal Alter]] stallions form [[Portugal]] that were mixed with colonial horses in [[Brazil]]. This mix also originated the [[Mangalarga Marchador]] breed that differs from de Mangalarga because of its smooth gait and its strait relation with [[iberian horse|iberian]] horses instead of other European breeds. When the Junqueira family moved to [[São Paulo]], the topography and local culture forced them to seek for a horse with different characteristics and so they started to cross breed the Mangalarga with [[Hackney (horse)|Hackey]], [[Morgan horse|Morgan]], [[American Saddlebred|American Saddle Horse]], [[Hanoverian (horse)|Hanoverian]] and [[Trakehner]]. This made the Mangalarga a completely different horse breed form the Mangalarga Marchador. They are so different that each one has its own studbook.
